Children's Issues
When a marriage or defacto relationship with children breaks down, important issues must be decided:
-
Who will the children live with;
-
What contact will the children have with the other parent;
-
How much maintenance will be paid.
Even after separation, both parents have responsibilities in bringing up the children. It is vital to get it right. If not, the children will be the real losers.
When a relationship has soured, reaching the right decisions can be difficult. At Somerville Legal we provide the advice and help the parties need to reach agreement. In many cases, this can be achieved by referring the parties to counselling. An agreement reached through this method is usually far better than going through the financial and emotional cost of fighting in Court.
However, if strong Court action is required, the Somerville Legal family law team will fight for your rights, and, above all, the rights of the children.
