Children

Perhaps more so than any other legal matter, issues involving children need to be dealt with calmly, sensibly and at all times with an understanding of the emotional and personal feelings involved.

Linda Cummings specialises in the law as it relates to children.  She acts for parents in connection with residence and contact cases.

Our work involves not only dealing with the other lawyers involved, but also liaising with social workers, care and other agencies.

Children issues arise both as part of a divorce or separation and separately.  We can  help you in at least the following areas:
  • Residence orders (with whom a child should live)
  • Contact orders
  • Care orders  involving Local Authorities
  • Maintenance
  • The Child Support Agency
  • Parental Responsibility Agreements and Orders (for unmarried fathers)
We will always discuss with you the likely cost involved and the availability of Public Funding (Legal Aid). Family troubles can often be trying and stressful. We are here to help you.

Please contact Linda Cummings on 01566 772375  or to email click on her name.
