Contact and Residence
Whether you are married or not, if you have concerns about the arrangements for your children, we can offer you the advice you need. This could relate to how often either you or your former partner see the children, or with whom your children should be residing. We make every effort to resolve matters by agreement. However, where this is not possible we are able to guide you through the Court process to try and achieve the best outcome possible.
Our family lawyers have experience in acting not only for parents but also for other family members including grandparents and children. We represent clients both in resolving issues within their family (private children matters) or where a local authority is involved with a family and legal proceedings are necessary (public children matters).
We can also advise you in relation to some other considerations that might be of concern, such as where your child should go to school, which country they should live in, whose surname they should have, or whether they should undergo a medical procedure.
Our family lawyers are very experienced in advising parties in relation to children proceedings. Members of the Family Team at Stephens Scown are on the Law Society's Children Panel and are accredited Resolution Specialists.
