Residence and Contact
Residence and contact arrangements decide where a child lives and how they spend time with each parent. We help you reach child-focused agreements and obtain court orders when needed.
We advise on shared care patterns, prepare Child Arrangements Order applications, support you in mediation, and represent you in court where agreement is not possible.
