How much time will you spend with your children after separation?
November 9, 2016
Separation is a very emotional time in people’s lives and one of the key concerns that all parents considering, or going through the process of, separation want to know is how much time will I get to spend with my children? The ideal solution is for the parents to reach an agreement which best meets the needs of the children taking into account factors such as parents working commitments or living arrangements. If an agreement cannot be reached the next step would be mediation and if a resolution is still not reached the matter would need to be decided in the Family Court.
Lucy Thomas, Director provided some guidance on what the court considers when making these decisions in a recent radio interview. Find out more..
Relocating – What Are The Steps Involved With Regards To My Children
November 3, 2016
Moving with your children to another location, which changes the time the other parent would otherwise spend with the children, is known as relocation. If you and your former partner are separated and you want to move with your children, you need permission from the other parent, or an Order from the Family Court. If you’re thinking about relocating, or you’re worried your former partner might relocate with your kids, you should seek legal advice from a family lawyer.
