In the midst of relationship breakdowns or divorce, it's crucial to prioritise the wellbeing of children. At James Thornton Family Law, we understand the importance of fostering constructive co-parenting relationships and ensuring that children's interests remain paramount throughout the process.
Disputes involving children are among the most sensitive and emotionally charged aspects of family law. Whether determining living arrangements, schooling, visitation rights, or international travel, we provide compassionate guidance to help parents reach agreements that serve the best interests of their children.
Parental responsibility grants individuals the right to participate in decision-making regarding their children. While mothers and named fathers automatically have parental responsibility, others may need to apply for it. We provide clarity on parental responsibility rights and obligations, ensuring that all parties understand their legal position.
When disagreements arise, mediation offers a constructive alternative to courtroom battles. We can help facilitate mediation sessions to help parents understand each other's perspectives and reach amicable solutions. If mediation is unsuccessful, we guide parents through the court process, ensuring that children's welfare remains the primary focus.
In cases involving allegations of abuse or where children are not residing with their biological parents, sensitivity and urgency are paramount. We provide immediate legal intervention to safeguard children's welfare, working tirelessly to secure court orders when necessary.
At James Thornton Family Law, we approach children's cases with sensitivity and professionalism, prioritising the welfare of the entire family. We collaborate with parents to devise suitable living arrangements that minimise disruption and prioritise stability for children. Your children's wellbeing is our utmost priority, and we are committed to helping you navigate this challenging time with empathy and expertise.
