Frequently Asked Questions
We know that legal matters concerning children can be complex. Below are some common questions our clients ask:
What factors do courts consider in child custody cases?
The court prioritises the child’s best interests, considering factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, their emotional and educational needs, and the ability of each parent to provide a stable environment.
Our child lawyers in London, Kent, and Surrey can help you present a strong case.
Can grandparents apply for legal access to their grandchildren?
Yes, grandparents can apply for permission to seek a contact order through the courts if they are being denied access.
We provide legal guidance to help grandparents maintain meaningful relationships with their grandchildren.
How is child maintenance calculated?
Child maintenance is typically calculated based on the income of the non-resident parent. The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) provides guidelines, but in some cases, private agreements or court orders may be necessary.
Our solicitors can advise you on the best course of action.
What legal steps can be taken to protect a child from harm?
If a child is at risk, legal measures such as emergency court orders, prohibited steps orders, or child protection plans may be necessary.
Our child lawyers in London, Kent, and Surrey can help secure the appropriate protections.
