Child Custody and Visitation
How We Help
We support with all aspects of child contact and custody, including:
- Initial consultation & guidance - explaining your legal position around child arrangements and contact, and helping you understand your options before any formal steps are taken
- Child Arrangements - drafting agreements that set out where your child will live, when they’ll see the other parent, and how decisions are shared
- Residence and contact - advising on the difference between who a child lives with and who they spend time with, and how that can be balanced
- Holiday and travel arrangements - helping you plan for school breaks, trips abroad, and routine contact around special dates
- Supervised or limited contact - supporting parents where safeguarding or welfare concerns are raised
- Applications to the court - helping you prepare for a child arrangements order if an agreement can’t be reached
- Enforcing an existing order - advising on what to do when an order is breached or ignored
- Managing communication - handling contact between parents when discussions become difficult or break down
Whether you're trying to formalise what’s already working or resolve a dispute, we’ll help you focus on your child’s needs and the best way forward.
Things to Consider
Arrangements don’t need to be complicated - but they do need to work for your child and feel manageable for both parents. Some key issues to think about include:
- where the child will live most of the time
- what regular contact looks like - and how flexible it can be
- how holidays, birthdays, and special occasions will be handled
- whether contact needs to be supervised or limited for any reason
- how decisions will be made jointly or separately
We’ll help you explore what’s realistic and fair, and put the agreement in writing to avoid future misunderstandings.
