Questions You Might Have

General Quesitons

Parental rights after divorce include custody, visitation, and child support responsibilities. Understanding these rights is essential for both parents to ensure the well-being of their children.

Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as stability, parental involvement, and the child’s well-being.

Yes, visitation and access arrangements can often be negotiated to accommodate the schedules and preferences of both parents, with a focus on the child’s best interests.

Child support ensures that children’s financial needs are met. The non-custodial parent may be required to make regular payments to the custodial parent for the child’s upbringing.

We provide legal assessments, assistance in creating custody and access arrangements, guidance on child support matters, and legal representation to protect your parental rights and ensure the best interests of your children are upheld.

Financial Related

The process for negotiating a financial settlement can be done in two ways. Firstly, if financial matters are agreed upon between both parties a finance consent order can then be drafted and filed with the court alongside the relevant paperwork.

On the other hand, if matters are not agreed upon between parties and where there is a financial dispute regarding assets and finances, it would then be recommended to go through the court process of obtaining a financial order. This process is generally quite lengthy and consists of financial hearings and full financial disclosure from both parties. Once a settlement is agreed a final order will then be granted.

If Children Involved

If you have a genuine fear that your ex-partner will not return the children back to you or the UK where they are usually resident, we will make an emergency application with the Family Courts for a Prohibited Steps Order.

Unfortunately, grandparents do not have parental rights and therefore an application needs to be made to the court initially. You will need to ask the court for permission to make an application for contact under Form C100. Our team is on hand to support you through such cases.

If you have parental responsibility, our family team can make an application to the family courts requesting a contact arrangement.

Here at Wildings, we would guide you through the process, whilst ensuring that we obtain the best and most effective result for you.

In such cases, we would initially recommend mediation. Should matters continue to not be resolved, we would then advise you on what application should be made to the court to finalise arrangements.

About Your Safety

If you are in fear for your safety or have experienced either physical, verbal, emotional, or psychological abuse, control, coercion, harassment or threatening behaviour, we are able to make an ex-parte non-molestation order to protect you from the forms of harassment above.  Should there be an occupational dispute concerning property, we are also able to make an application for an occupation order.

It is essential for us to give you right guidance, please do not delay to take the first step and contact us!
