Child care cases
(Solicitors for Ipswich, Suffolk and East Anglia)
When parents separate the effect on the children can be far reaching. Whether the parents are married or not, there are key issues that need to be resolved with regard to the future arrangements for children.
Agreement
Whatever the reasons for the breakdown of the relationship, it is important that the children witness their parents working together and agreeing on arrangements for the future.
An independent mediator will try to help parents reach an agreement that is in the best interests of their children. At Ross Coates Solicitors we assist in reaching this agreement and can, where necessary, refer clients to a mediation service.
If parents are unable to reach agreement about the future arrangements for their children, the Court can be asked to make Orders under the Children Act 1989. The Court can be asked to make any of the following:
- A Residence Order -
This is an Order to determine where and with whom a child should live. - A Contact Order -
This is an Order directed at the parent with whom the child resides which specifies that he/she should make the child available for contact with the other parent. - A Specific Issue Order -
This is an Order to decide on a specific matter relating to the child™s
