Frequently Asked Questions
What are my rights as a cohabiting (unmarried) parent in the UK?
Even if you are not married, you still have parental rights over your children. UK law recognizes both parents’ responsibilities, and you can apply for child arrangements orders regarding custody and visitation if needed.
How does the adoption process work in the UK?
The adoption process in the UK involves a series of assessments, background checks, and court proceedings to ensure the child’s welfare. Our solicitors will help you navigate this process, from the initial application to the final adoption order.
What can I do if I’m facing domestic violence?
If you are experiencing domestic violence, you can apply for a non-molestation order or an occupation order to protect yourself. We can assist you in taking immediate action to ensure your safety.
Do I have to attend court for my family law case?
Not always. Many family law matters, such as divorces and child arrangements, can be resolved outside of court through mediation or negotiation. However, if an agreement can’t be reached, we will represent you in court to secure the best outcome.
What if my ex-partner stops paying child maintenance?
If your ex-partner fails to pay child maintenance, you can seek help from the Child Maintenance Service (CMS), which can calculate and enforce payments. Our solicitors can guide you through this process if needed.
What can I do if my spouse refuses to agree to a divorce?
In the UK, the no-fault divorce law allows you to proceed with a divorce without needing your spouse’s consent. You simply need to provide a statement that the marriage has irretrievably broken down, and the divorce process can move forward.
How is child custody decided in the UK?
UK courts prioritize the welfare of the child. Decisions on custody (called “child arrangements”) are based on what is in the best interests of the child, not the preferences of either parent. The court aims to encourage both parents to remain involved in the child’s life unless there are safety concerns.
Will my personal information be kept confidential?
Absolutely. All your personal information and case details are handled with strict confidentiality. Your privacy is a priority in all communications and legal matters.
Can I change a child custody agreement after it’s been finalized?
Yes, custody agreements can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in living conditions, a new job, or concerns about the child’s welfare. We can help you apply for a modification of the existing agreement.
How are financial settlements decided during a divorce?
Financial settlements are determined based on several factors, including each party’s income, assets, and contributions to the marriage. Our solicitors will work with you to secure a fair settlement.
