Arrangements for children

When a relationship breaks down and children are involved, your main concern will be to protect their wellbeing. So it’s good to know that at QualitySolicitors Chapman & Chubb we make your children our number one priority too.

Throughout all the practical considerations that are required during a separation or divorce, we never lose sight of the fact that your children’s physical and emotional wellbeing comes first.

Our family law solicitors are experienced in helping parents and families make arrangements for children following the breakdown of a relationship. We’ll make sure that everyone involved understands their legal rights and responsibilities whilst ensuring that the views of you and your children are heard.

Of course, children have practical needs as well as emotional ones and it can sometimes be difficult to focus on the best practical solutions when a relationship has broken down. But our family solicitors will bring clarity to your situation. We’ll clearly explain what arrangements for children need to be considered and help you put things in place to create a more stable and happy future for you and your children.

If you’re filing for divorce, the courts will require a form which sets out arrangements for how your children will be cared for called a Statement of Arrangements. We can guide you through what the courts expect, will explain what options you have, and will help put together all the necessary costs.

At QualitySolicitors Chapmn & Chubb we use plain English - not legal jargon. We’ll explain everything in a way that’s clear and easy to understand. We also offer free, initial, over-the-phone advice and will explain the costs and timescales involved up front so you always know what to expect. So for friendly, confidential advice about arrangements for children, contact us today on 0808 196 3305.

Expert legal advice you can rely on:


Family law

In today’s modern world there is no such thing as an ‘average’ family or ‘normal’ relationship. You may be married, living together, or separated. Children, step-children or adopted children are perhaps living with you or living elsewhere. Grandparents or other family members could also be involved. Whatever your situation, relationships can sometimes break down and that’s when turning to a family solicitor can really help you to resolve difficulties quickly.

Adoption

If you decide to adopt a child, either in the UK or from overseas, having expert legal advice is key. QualitySolicitors can support you in this highly complex legal area.

Change of name

If you decide to change your name, QualitySolicitors can help you to do this legally and properly.

Divorce

Divorce can be very stressful and we believe choosing and using a lawyer shouldn't add to that stress. We offer a range of clearly priced services, putting you in control – all provided by local, expert lawyers. Select the option below that best suits your circumstances or give us a call for some free advice.

Domestic violence

If you’re in a relationship that isn't working for you, either because you feel threatened or are with a violent or abusive partner, it can be difficult to know where to turn to for help - but it’s important not to suffer in silence. Asking for help is the first step to resolving the situation.

Living together

More and more couples are choosing to live together and share their lives without getting married. And whilst emotionally, you may feel no different to a married couple; under the law, couples that live together without getting married do not share the same legal rights as those who marry. This can make things difficult if the relationship breaks down in the future particularly in regards to finance and property. And if children are involved, it’s important to protect their future too.

Mediation

Family life can be complicated and sometimes relationships with loved ones break down. At QualitySolicitors we offer an expert mediation service to help you get family life back on track. Mediation is a recognised process designed to help people resolve disputes with the help of a trained relationship expert. Unlike court cases where there is usually a ‘winner’ and a ‘loser’, mediation tries to find a solution that works for all parties involved.

Prenuptial agreements

Planning a wedding is an exciting time - and also a time when you start thinking about your long-term future. You’re probably looking forward to a long and happy marriage but it’s also natural to wonder what unexpected twists and turns life might bring.
