Protecting your children when a relationship fails

Where a couple with children choose to separate or divorce, there are a number of issues to consider.  At Ashworth Law, our specialist family lawyers have the expertise and experience to help you make the residence, contact, parental responsibility and maintenance arrangements that will work for you, your partner and most importantly your children.

In almost every case we handle, parents are genuinely motivated by what they believe to be in their children’s best interests. However differences in opinion between you and your partner may cause tension and conflict. Inevitably families try their best to protect children from issues such as this, it is not always possible. Our experienced family lawyers can help with sensitive and impartial legal advice.

All of our Family Solicitors have extensive experience in dealing with these issues in a careful and considerate manner. Whilst always encouraging a conciliatory and child-focused approach, we will not hesitate to take firm action when it’s needed. Indeed in some more extreme cases, we may use emergency procedures or applications to the Court regarding specific issues where that is in the best interest of the children and a parent.
