Child Residence and Contact Serving London and Croydon
The lawyers of Haider Kennedy in Croydon advise divorcing parents about issues related to the child's primary residence and the rights of the parent without custody to enjoy regular access or contact with the child. To learn how our experience with the resolution of these issues can help you understand your legal rights and responsibilities with respect to these issues, contact us for a free consultation.
The first principle of child access and contact is the paramount importance of the interests of the children involved. Put another way, the preferences and convenience of each parent will count for little in comparison to the welfare of the child if the matter goes to court. Haider Kennedy solicitors therefore work closely with each client in order to ensure that your interest in a particular child access arrangement is consistent with the way a judge is likely to view the best interests of your children.
Application for Child Contact in London and South East England
While it is usually possible to work out matters of residence and contact through agreement, it is occasionally necessary to make application to the court when a divorced or separated parent unduly interferes with the other parent's access. Haider Kennedy can apply for an interim order for contact pending the hearing on a final order. The firm can also define the scope of your request in terms of overnight visits or extended visits during holiday periods.
We also represent parents with legitimate reasons for refusing frequent or unsupervised contact based on behavioural problems or a documented history of abuse. We can help you formulate contact arrangements that provide substantial protective conditions and sanctions for noncompliance.
