Issues involving children

Disputes involving children are invariably difficult and stressful. Disagreements over residency and contact can become highly emotionally and traumatic.At Russell Jones & Walker we have extensive experience of the disputes that can arise when parents separate or divorce. Our aim is to help guide you through these disputes to an amicable resolution.

The primary task of all separating parents must be to help their children through the period of separation with the minimum of disturbance, distress and long term harm. 

One way of achieving this is to do everything you reasonably can to reach an amicable agreement over residence and contact.

If appropriate we will refer you to a family mediation service to help you resolve these disputes as quickly as possible. Often it is very useful to get in touch with these organisations for advice on how best to help children cope with separation and divorce.
