The effects a divorce can have on the children probably cause more worry and heartache to the parents than almost any other aspect of a divorce. The negative impact on their lives can be greatly reduced by sensible planning and paying attention to their wishes.

A divorce is not the end of a happy relationship between the parents and their children and the services of a good divorce lawyer can help to navigate this difficult period in that relationship and minimize any disruption.

  What about Child Contact?    



Fortunately, most couples are able to sort out the arrangements for care of the children:

  • Usually they will reside with the mother.
  • The father may see the children regularly during the week, at weekends and have them overnight.
  • Birthdays and Christmases are special occasions and both parties will want to see the child / children.
  • Holidays should also be considered.
  • Don't forget to ask the child / children what they want.

If the separating couple cannot agree on child care arrangements it may be worthwhile writing out a year plan or using a mediator. If all else fails lawyers may need to be involved and court action taken.
