Parenting & Children Matters

Parenting matters following separation require careful consideration of a child’s welfare while balancing the rights and responsibilities of each parent. Decisions made in this area can have lasting effects on family dynamics, living arrangements, and a child’s stability.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides family law advice on parenting and children’s matters, assisting parents to understand their obligations and the legal framework that governs parenting arrangements. Our approach is measured and practical, with a focus on clarity, proportionality, and child-focused outcomes.

​

Parenting issues can involve decisions about where a child lives, how time is shared, communication arrangements, education, and travel. We advise clients on how the best interests of the child are assessed under family law and on options for reaching agreement where possible.

​

Where matters can be resolved without court intervention, we support negotiated outcomes and formalise arrangements appropriately. Where disputes arise or urgent issues require attention, we provide clear advice on procedural options, risks, and next steps. Where suitable, agreed fixed-fee pricing may be available through Crownmark Assured Pricing (CAP) to provide certainty around scope and costs.
