Child Contact Solicitors, Tamworth Staffordshire & Castle Bromwich, Birmingham
At David J Foster & Co, we understand that the process of getting a Divorce can be a difficult and emotional time for everyone involved. When parents Divorce or separate, the court’s primary consideration is the welfare of any children involved. The court will make decisions about the custody, care, and control of the children with the objective of ensuring that the children have the opportunity to have a meaningful relationship with both parents, unless this is not in the best interests of the children. Our team of experienced Child Arrangement solicitors are dedicated to providing compassionate and effective assistance to guide you through every step of the process.
Residence: The court will make a decision about who the children will live with, known as a “residence order.” The court will consider the child’s wishes, depending on the age and understanding of the child, and any other relevant factors, such as the child’s emotional, physical and educational needs, and the capacity of each parent to meet those needs.
Contact: The court will also make decisions about the level of contact that the non-resident parent will have with the children, known as a “contact order.” This will allow the non-resident parent to maintain a relationship with the child and support their upbringing.
Parental Responsibility: Both parents have a legal responsibility to make decisions about the child’s welfare, known as “parental responsibility.” This includes decisions about the child’s education, religion, and medical treatment.
Mediation: If the parents are unable to agree on the arrangements for the children, the court will encourage them to attend mediation to try to reach an agreement.
It’s important to note that the court will always consider the best interests of the child and make decisions accordingly. The court may also consider any other relevant factors, such as the domestic abuse or any other safety concerns.
