Children and Divorce, children and separation: Expert legal advice and assistance from Swain & Co. Solicitors LLP in Hampshire, Sussex and Surrey

 

When a marriage or relationship breaks down, it is a difficult time for everyone, especially when there are children involved.

There may be many questions and may be disagreements around:

Which parent the children should live with

The level and type of contact and access the children have with the parent they will not be living with

Future decisions such as on-going medical treatment, issues regarding religious upbringing

Swain & Co.’s expert family law solicitors can advise you on all matters concerning children and divorce or separation, such as residence and contact and financial matters.

How we can help you

“It is most beneficial for the whole family if you and your former partner can co-operate and reach agreements together outside of court.”

It is important that children’s needs and interests are put first and that they are not involved in arguments or conflict.

Have you considered mediation as a means to reach agreements together? You can read more about our Family Mediation Service here

However, if you feel that you have exhausted all options, we can help you too.

We have fixed fee options in relation to making applications to the court.
