FAMILY LAW SOLICITOR CHESHIRE

Children’s Cases

At Jeanette Birch Family Law, we understand how crucial it is to make the right decisions regarding your child’s care and future. As specialists in child arrangements, we provide compassionate and professional support to help you navigate these complex matters while prioritising the well-being of your child. 

What Are Child Arrangements? 

Child arrangements determine where a child lives, how much time they spend with each parent, and how key decisions about their upbringing are made. These agreements are designed to reflect the diverse dynamics of modern families, ensuring the child’s best interests remain at the forefront. 

Our Expertise in Child Arrangements 

  • Residence and Contact 

We help families decide where a child lives, who they spend time with, and how parenting responsibilities are shared. 

  • Relocation Disputes 

Whether a parent is moving within the UK or abroad, we provide expert legal advice to resolve relocation disputes in a way that prioritises the child’s welfare. 

  • Travel and Holiday Permissions 

If you need legal support to arrange or prevent international or domestic travel with your child, we can help secure appropriate agreements or court orders. 

  • Parental Alienation and Abuse Cases 

In cases where parental alienation, domestic abuse, or coercive control is a concern, we take swift action to protect your child’s safety and your parental rights. 

  • Schooling and Education Decisions 

Disputes about where a child goes to school or other significant education decisions can be addressed through legal guidance and, if necessary, court intervention. 

  • Grandparents and Extended Family Rights 

We assist grandparents and extended family members in securing involvement in a child’s life, where this is in the child’s best interests. 

Resolving Child Arrangements Disputes 

Wherever possible, we encourage families to resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation, providing a less adversarial approach that saves time and costs. However, when agreements cannot be reached, we provide expert representation in court to secure the best outcome for your child. 

Transparent Fee Structure 

Every case is unique, and our fees are charged on a time basis, with rates tailored to the complexity of your situation. We provide a bespoke cost estimate so you know what to expect from the outset. 

Contact us today to schedule a consultation and start the process of securing a resolution that works for your family.

  • “Excellent. Absolutely superb professional service from Jeanette. Friendly and very helpful with explanations of all aspects concerning the divorce proceedings. Would 100% recommend”

    Les, Cheshire

  • “For a father fighting to see my daughters it was always an uphill battle and the stark difference in approaches is contrary to what most would like, as you have to sit back more than you would like. That didn’t stop Jeanette from fighting my corner on my behalf. From the get go every part of the service was proactive and hit the right balance of the frustration I was forced into and how the court would like to hear it. “
