Are you being refused contact to your children? Have you attempted to communicate with the other parent? Is contact still being refused? If so, we will be able to help you. You and your ex-partner will be encouraged to try and resolve any contact issues by mediation.
However, if this is not productive and disputes remain unresolved, you can make an application to the Court asking for an Order to outline arrangements for the time you spend with your children, which is known as a Defined Child Arrangements Order. You can also make an application for other issues concerning a child, for example; which school they should attend, defining holiday arrangements or an Order to prohibit certain events form taking place to name a few.
Can I get a divorce or dissolution of civil partnership? How much does it cost? How long does it take? Here at Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors we understand how scary the prospect of getting a divorce or dissolution of civil partnership may seem, but we’re here to help, and will advise and guide you every step of the way.
The process starts by one party filing a Divorce Petition Online, and thereafter the Court will confirm whether the legal requirements have been met for a divorce, before legally ending the marriage, which is called final order.
As well as dealing with your divorce we can assist with other matters such as making arrangements for your children and dealing with the finances of the marriage.
If you are currently going through Divorce proceedings you may be wondering what happens to the assets of the marriage. What will happen to the family home, your pension, your savings? In the first instance the parties will be encouraged to try and resolve any issues by way of mediation. If agreement cannot be reached by mediation then the parties will need to go through the Court process for resolving the issues.

A prenuptial agreement is an agreement reached between two parties, prior to the date of the marriage, which would set out what would happen to assets in the event of a marital breakdown.
It is advisable to seek independent legal advice prior to entering into a cohabitation contract as there are certain requirements to ensure that the document is legally binding and would be upheld in the event of a dispute.
Now with a change to the law, raising the legal age of marriage from 16 to 18, it is hoped that the more vulnerable children can be protected.
When relationships break down, it can be daunting on grandparents who are faced with limited or no contact with their grandchildren.

Whether you are going through a divorce or separation, deciding on the arrangements for the children can be complicated. As parents, you have a responsibility for your children’s well-being.
