Child Custody Support Lawyer in Nottingham and the U.K.

The needs of you and your children are our highest priority. Whether you are agreeing on child custody arrangements as part of divorce proceedings, need resolution on an access or cohabitation dispute, or require advice on child maintenance payments, working with a direct access family barrister in Nottingham will put you in control of the decisions that matter most to you and your children.

Child Custody Law

One of the most challenging aspects of divorce for families can be division of child custody, but with our bespoke legal support and advice, you can eliminate one of the more complicated and financially stressful aspects of the situation. As experts in family law and child custody disputes, we are able to provide bespoke, expert legal support after reading your documents to ensure the fairest outcome for you and your family across the UK.

In more complicated cases, the court will make a decision on behalf of the child’s protection needs. When it comes to child custody cases, there are many points in which it is beneficial to have legal advice and representation. We are fully equipped to represent you across the UK either in court, at a hearing, child protection disputes, at settlement conferences, or at mediations.

Child Maintenance Law

When parents are separated, the resident parent typically receives child maintenance (sometimes known as child support) from the non-resident parent to put protection in place for the child, unless the child’s time is divided equally.

If parents are unable to reach an agreement on the level of maintenance, the typical next step is to make an application to the Child Maintenance Agency, who will decide the level of payment that needs to be made.

As direct access barristers, we are able to provide legal support when navigating the assessment period for the Child Maintenance Agency, including representation at any required hearings.

How does a direct access barrister help me?

A direct access barrister allows you to work directly with a barrister rather than needing to liaise with a solicitor that will go to the barrister on your behalf.

Why choose a direct access barrister?

Working directly with a barrister is a great option for families in Nottingham that are able to handle the administrative tasks usually carried out by a solicitor. In doing so, you can save substantially on solicitors’ fees altogether, only needing to pay for the services of the barrister, an expert in the field of family law.
