Most people will agree that when it comes to divorce or separation the welfare of the children is paramount. Understanding divorce and children issues are fundamental requirements of a good solicitor specialising in this area of law. It is often said that it is impossible to achieve a divorce without harming the children. Whilst it is true that divorce and children are not an ideal mix it is possible with the right approach by the parents and their solicitors to minimise the disruption caused to the children.

At Betteridges whilst not compromising on a tough approach when needed we are mindful of the need for sensitivity concerning divorce and children. Betteridges will always try to encourage wherever possible out of court solutions to disputes concerning divorce and children. It is a popular misconception that the courts will automatically make orders whenever children are involved. The court will in fact adopt the ‘no order principle’ wherever possible. This means that parents are encouraged to come to an agreement on issues concerning the children and the only time a court will make orders is when parents cannot agree.

The courts do consider the divorce and children arrangements at a certain stage of the divorce proceedings and often make what is known as a section 41 order. This general certificate of satisfaction issued by the court in many cases is the only official document concerning divorce and children.

Betteridges are very experienced in dealing with divorce and children issues and our office is very warm and welcoming for those clients that need to bring their children along with them for meetings. If divorce and children issues are concerning you make a call now to Betteridges.
