Children

When a relationship breaks down, the people most affected are the children. We at Ashmans Solicitors can guide you through the legal steps that you may need to take in order to continue raising your child, whilst you and your partner are no longer together.

We acknowledge that arranging the care, financial support and other aspects of raising a child, when you have split up from the other parent, can be extremely difficult to organise. We may suggest that you enter Mediation if an agreement cannot be easily and amicably reached.

There also may be the need to prevent your child from being taken out of the UK, or from relocation within the UK – Emergency Orders can be swiftly applied for in these cases.

The Family Law Team at Ashmans Solicitors provides expert legal advice and representation to all members of the family, on a wide range of issues relating to children.
