Arrangements for Children on Divorce: Nelson, Burnley
We understand that one of your main concerns on the breakdown of a relationship will be to ensure that your children are protected from the emotional fallout as much as possible.
You will need to make arrangements for where the children will live and how often they will see the non-resident parent. Ideally these arrangements should be made on an amicable basis with your ex-partner however we know that sometimes this is just not possible.
We provide specialist advice to help you resolve disputes about the children bearing in mind that the paramount concern of everyone involved should be to achieve a resolution which is in the best interests of the children.
We can advise you in relation to Parental Responsibility, residence or shared residence of the children, contact and specific issues including the resident parent wishing to move abroad with the children or wishing to change their name.
Medical and educational issues can also be addressed.
It is also important to remember the children’s grandparents who will wish to continue to see and have a close relationship with them. We provide advice to grandparents on maintaining that link.
If you are worried that your ex-partner may try to abduct the children then we can issue proceedings on an emergency basis to prevent this happening and to stop it happening in the future.
We can also advise on securing the safe return of your children if they have been taken abroad or somewhere else in the UK.
One of our solicitors is a member of the Law Society Children Panel and is therefore recognised as an experienced specialist in this field.
