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.

Hear what our clients say about us

I instructed Laura half way through my divorce proceedings and I knew from the outset that I was in excellent hands. Laura is compassionate, diligent, professional and always understanding my concerns whilst advising me through the whole process. I would highly recommend Laura and I am so grateful for all her hard work and help. Laura is a credit to HCR Law.

Laura and her talented team have been with me from start to finish on my divorce and her pragmatic family focussed approach has been invaluable. Laura is deeply experienced, knowledgeable and capable and was able to front-run and handle difficult matters for me. With Laura’s support I always felt like I had someone in my corner who wanted the best for me and my family and I will be forever thankful.

As ever, you’ve been brilliant Hannah. I wouldn’t say each time we chat it’s the best moments of my life but each time you blend a mix of fantastic advice, legal professionalism as well as just being there for me to vent anytime I’ve needed. Your advice (even when I haven’t always wanted to hear it) has been well founded and always with the desire to get the best outcome possible in mind. I’d absolutely recommend you to anyone going through a family matter as the only person to go and speak to so a huge thanks for everything despite how challenging a situation it’s been for me.
