Financial Provision
& Claims
When a relationship involving children breaks down, it can be very stressful and complicated as you navigate your way through the legalities around residence agreements and any contact disputes. You only want the best for your children and trying to reach agreements on who they will stay with and what contact should be allowed can be an emotional rollercoaster.
Generally, the best childcare agreements are those which are worked out between you and the other parent, rather than by the court as they have limited exposure or knowledge of your family dynamics and what will truly be in the best interests for your particular children.
It can be challenging to reach an agreement when you’re separated and often it can help to have a lawyer you can entrust to negotiate these matters on your behalf. Involving a lawyer at this stage helps remove the heat and emotion from the situation so that the contact and residence disputes can be resolved before courts are involved. At Paul Taylor Family & Civil Law, Paul is a very experienced family law practitioner who you can rely on to negotiate on your behalf with your children’s best interests at heart.
If agent to agent or mediation is not resolving disputes and the case must go to the courts, we can help you throughout the entire process. We believe in straightforward advice to navigate you through this process.
