Child custody (residence) issues and parental responsibility
If you’re getting divorced, you and your partner need to agree who your children will live with. The legal language can sometime be confusing but ‘custody’, ‘residence’ and ‘living with’ all have the same meaning.
In addition to who the child will live with, common child law issues a solicitor can help you work through include:
- parental responsibility after divorce
- who pays child maintenance
- enforcing child maintenance payments
- where the children should go to school
- parenting plans after the divorce
- access to the children after the divorce
Our family law experts can help you agree:
- where your children will live
- how much time they will spend with each parent
- financial support and child maintenance
- grandparents' visitation rights.
