Children Issues & Child Arrangements

Children Issues & Child Arrangements Solicitors

Our regional team of family specialists take a holistic approach to resolving disputes, remembering that the relationships continue long after the solicitor’s involvement ends. This can include assistance with agreeing where and with whom your children live (formerly known as custody) or how to ensure that they maintain important links with all parts of their family following a separation.

Placing the children’s welfare at the heart of the solution, Sills & Betteridge Solicitors offer a range of ways to assist you to resolve any conflict, including mediation. If your situation does require the intervention of the Courts, our experienced team which includes members of the Law Society Children’s Panel works sensitively to achieve the best outcome for your family.

To find out more, get in touch or call in to one of our offices in Lincoln, Boston, Sleaford, Gainsborough, Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Skegness, Spilsby, Doncaster, Sheffield, Thorne, Howden, Wath Upon Dearne, Bawtry, Nottingham, Derby and Northampton.
