The breakdown of a relationship is difficult, especially if there are children involved.
When going through a divorce or separation, child custody or residence is the main priority for parents. Although parents are usually able to come to a mutual agreement in relation to the residence of their child or children, in some situations they are unable to do so without either the assistance of a mediator or the courts.
Our separation solicitors have decades of combined experience in dealing with child-related matters such as child’s residence arrangements, and are aware of the significance and impact a relationship breakdown can have on children and parents.
If you are going through a separation and want to reach an agreement about child residence, contact a Jones Whyte separation lawyer today.
Residence (formerly known as ‘custody’) is the term used to describe with whom a child should live from day to day. When parents separate it is very common a child will have to live with one parent, or where the child lives will be split between the two parents.
At Jones Whyte, we have extensive experience dealing with matters relating to children where parents and relevant parties cannot agree with whom the child should have their primary residence, or how much contact should take place with a non-resident parent or grandparents.
