Children
Putting your child’s best interests at the heart of every decision.
Children Matters
When it comes to children, nothing is more important than their wellbeing and stability. We understand that disputes over children’s arrangements are often the most sensitive and emotionally charged issues in family law. Whether you are working towards an amicable agreement or navigating a high-conflict situation that requires court intervention, we guide you through every stage with both sensitivity and strategic insight.
What Assistance Can We Provide?
We advise on all aspects of private children law, including parenting arrangements, financial support, and relocation issues. Our team is experienced in preparing applications for residence, contact, child maintenance, and specific issue or prohibited steps orders. Our focus is on creating balanced solutions for residence and contact disagreements while supporting healthy co-parenting relationships.
Guidance Through Conflicts
When conflicts arise over relocation or education, we offer clear guidance and, where required, seek court orders to address matters like medical care, religious upbringing, or travel. Furthermore, we support clients in clarifying parental rights and responsibilities in claims for financial provision on behalf of a child under Schedule 1 of the Children (Jersey) Law 2002. We also handle sensitive cases involving safeguarding issues with utmost care.
Schedule 1 Claims
We advise clients on applications pursuant to Schedule 1 of the Children (Jersey) Law, for financial provision to be made for a child in cases where the parents are not married. This may involve capital provision, often for housing, alongside applications for child maintenance, lump sums and interim funding to cover legal costs.
We have extensive experience in securing appropriate financial orders and ensure each application is properly structured to reflect the child’s needs. Our team delivers strategic, clear advice, with an emphasis on achieving outcomes that are both fair and in the child’s best interests.
