Child Arrangement Lawyers

The hardest part of a divorce is when children

 are involved. In most cases, divorce does not only have an effect on both parties involved but can also involve children or other family relatives. If you are in a process of divorce or thinking about it, we will work with you to pursue the best arrangements for your children.
Our experts believe that both parents should remain in a healthy and positive relationship if children are involved.

This way the child does not grow resentment towards one or the other parent and this way child arrangements can be achieved in the best possible outcome. We encourage both parents to work together to set up the time in which the child will spend with either one of them.

In some cases, that is not possible but you should not worry because our child arrangements lawyers are fully prepared to bring the case to court and go after the needs and interests of the child.

 

Mediation Services in Mitcham

You might want to come to an agreement for the child arrangements or any financial settlement with your spouse but they are being purposely difficult to speak to. We are here to help with our mediation services.

This procedure provides a framework for the discussions with your spouse to move forward. They are usually done in 3 to 5 sessions as we aim to provide a good environment to achieve your goals and needs.

Our mediation solicitors remain neutral during the process and cannot provide legal advice to you or your spouse. We can only advise that you seek help from your individual lawyers to create a legal and effective agreement at the end of the mediation process.
