Cripps Harries Hall

Children

When a relationship ends and there are children involved you may all need advice and support to come to terms with the emotional and legal issues involved.

What we do

When you are separating and have children you (and they) may need help and advice to come to terms with the emotional and legal issues involved.

We give advice on the law relating to children.

When a relationship breaks down the main questions are:

  • Who will look after the children and where will they live - residence (previously known as "custody")
  • What contact will the other parent have - contact (previously known as "access")

The problems can be particularly difficult when one parent decides to live abroad.

The decision to separate is never an easy one, in particular when there are children involved. Separation inevitably involves some degree of upheaval, and for the children's sake, it is generally accepted that the less change the better.

When parents split up it is well known that the child's relationship with one or both parents can suffer.
