Children

The main aim of the courts and therefore family lawyers is not to become involved in matters concerning children unless there is a real problem and a real benefit from that involvement.

Accordingly, in the vast majority of cases the parties’ equality of parental rights will survive a divorce intact and unaffected.

Where problems over children do arise, the courts treat them as a priority and have a wide range of powers to deal with them. 

The range of issues will include:

  • a child’s place of residence
  • contact
  • education
  • removal from England
