What is Private Children Law and how can Thompson Smith and Puxon help?
Private Children Law covers disputes concerning children, usually between parents or relatives of children. These disputes may include:
- how much time the children spend with each parent after separation
- specific issues such as disputes over medical treatment, moving abroad with a parent or changing a child’s name
- formalising the arrangements if someone other than a parent cares for the children
- payment of maintenance, expenses or school fees for the children
When parents separate, emotions often run high but it is important to put the needs of the children first and avoid being caught up in unnecessary conflicts.
Resolution is a group of Family Law professionals who are committed to easing the pain and cost of family breakdown. Solicitors Juliet Gordon and Richard Jacob are both members of Resolution so you can be confident that at Thompson Smith and Puxon you will receive advice that takes into account the needs of the whole family and, in particular, the children.
If you have a problem about your children following separation, Thompson Smith and Puxon will help you try to find a solution by:
- listening carefully
