Dealing with the Legal Issues around Breakdowns

Print this page
 
  Christmas is often a time of stress for families. The effect of being together, consuming too much alcohol or simply having to spend time with in-laws that you do not get on with can lead to disagreements, arguments and in extreme circumstances violence between the parties. This can sometimes lead to police involvement and for some, a complete breakdown in relationships.

Breakdowns clearly impact on the children, who may be prevented from seeing one of their parents, or worse still, may lead to care proceedings for the children.

Whether you are married or unmarried, the decisions that you take at such a stressful time can affect you for many years to come, according to Wayne Hollingsworth, family law specialist at Nottingham legal firm Cartwright King.

Whatever the circumstances that have led to separation or even divorce, there will always be financial issues to be dealt with. Ongoing contact with children for the parent who leaves will also need to be considered. If social services become involved with the children, there will be meetings with social workers and others involved in the case. Expert advice at this point will help to ensure that the best outcome for everyone concerned.

Cartwright King has experienced solicitors who are on the Law Society's panel for both family and childcare issues. This is a clear demonstration of their expertise in their particular fields and their ability to offer the best advice and assistance. And for those that are eligible legal aid funding is available. Alternatively for private clients fees will be agreed in advance.

"We will be there all the way through relationship or marriage breakdown or childcare cases to ensure that you get the very best advice and representation to make sure that you achieve the best outcome in your particular circumstances," said Wayne.
