Working out how to "parent apart" can be the hardest part of relationship breakdown. Our family law team can help

It's difficult to keep a clear head when family relationships break down. Yet this is what is needed when discussing the future arrangements for children.

Our experienced team of family law solicitors provides compassion and creativity, and can offer a guiding hand to help you best look after the welfare of your children.

We also offer a fixed-fee preliminary advice package, offering you peace of mind, a clear picture of your options, and information about the likely cost of next steps.

Advice on residence, contact and child maintenance

Questions we can help with include:

  • How can you co-parent in a way that suits all family members?
  • What are the rights and responsibilities of separated or divorced parents?
  • Who will the children live with, and how much time will they spend with each parent?
  • What child support (maintenance) arrangements will work for children and both parents?
  • Are there issues around seeing grandparents or other extended family?

With all these questions, and others, we aim for amicable, sustainable solutions.

Relocation worries and disputes

In recent years, careers and lifestyles have become more international. As a result, we're seeing more clients involved in contentious relocation cases, i.e, where one parent wants to move children to another location.

We have lots of experience in this area, as well as cases involving cross-border jurisdiction.

Family law specialists across Scotland

We have family and child law specialists in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee, making it convenient and easy to talk with one of our team.

The expertise of our Family Law team, and our wide-ranging work for families, is reflected in the specialist accreditations awarded to our solicitors by the Law Society of Scotland for their expertise in Family Law and Child Law.
