Financial Provision for Children

Making sure your children are looked after financially is essential for any parent. Children need to be provided with an adequate home to live in and to live with parents or guardians who have the necessary income to support them. Our team of family law experts can make sure this happens.

Helping you help your children

We provide assistance to parents with issues concerning any claim for child maintenance through the Child Maintenance Service.

In addition, we assist clients in making claims via the courts for additional or top-up maintenance. This is most relevant where there may be issues regarding school fees or the particular needs of a child – for example, needs generated by a disability.

Expertise in financial applications

The importance of financially supporting children after separation cannot be underestimated – to ensure suitable day-to-day living and educational needs are met, along with their own stability.

We have expertise in these delicate financial applications, which often involve unmarried couples, and we are as sensitive to the needs of the children as we are to those of the parents.
