Children as a priority in a relationship breakdown. 

Upon the breakdown of a relationship, where there are children, they will no doubt be your first and possibly sole concern. Unfortunately not all parents can agree the arrangements for their children upon separation and it may be necessary for solicitors to be involved.

At Bates, we will ensure you are fully advised of the options available to you and, if it becomes necessary to proceed to Court, we will do all we can to make the process as painless as possible.

We can offer guidance on your rights, advice on how to manage your relationship with your ex-partner so as to benefit the children and in the event that agreement cannot be reached, we can advise on the Court procedure, or act for you throughout to ensure that your children's best interests are met.

We offer advice on:

  • Contact Orders
  • Residence Orders
  • Specific Issue Orders
  • Leave to remove from the Jurisdiction Application
