Child Arrangement Orders
Seeking amicable resolutions when families split up
The end of a relationship can be complex where children are involved. Our expert family lawyers are here to offer practical and expert advice.
Support when your family splits up
When parents separate or family arrangements break down, there are many things to consider - including where a child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent. If you are unable to reach an agreement, it can be a challenging and upsetting time for all involved. When this happens, we aim to help you reach a swift and amicable solution.
Wherever possible, it is much better for the child(ren) and family to reach their own agreement rather than have orders made by a court. As members of Resolution, we offer creative and practical advice and strive to find resolution through mediation, collaborative law and sensible negotiation.
Of course, if court proceedings become unavoidable, we will represent you and offer expert advice every step of the way.
