The impact of divorce and separation on children has been widely reported. To us, helping parents find amicable and workable solutions to disputes regarding their children is essential. Put simply: “contact” refers to a child seeing someone who they don’t live with; “residence” means who that child lives with.
We can also assist with specific concerns regarding children, such as a dispute over a holiday, a change of name or a choice of school.
What approach does Spratt Endicott recommend to these disputes?
Spratt Endicott advocates the assistance of mediation, Collaborative Law or family therapy where such an approach is appropriate and can avoid the need for Court proceedings. Where matters cannot be resolved by agreement, we will assist with the practicalities and guide you through the Court process.
Spratt Endicott offers a fully managed service to provide you with as much or as little legal support as you may require in negotiating contact or residence or taking matters through the court.
Helping parents focus on their children’s needs
We provide our clients with a copy of the Government-produced Parenting Plan and useful documentation published by Resolution. This can help parents review how they approach disputes with their former partner, enabling them to focus on their children’s needs.
