Protecting what matters most

Child focused legal advice

Children deserve stability, safety and the continued love and support of both parents. But legal disputes - particularly following a separation - can make this incredibly difficult to achieve. At a time when your role as a parent feels uncertain or even under threat, expert legal guidance becomes essential.

​

The team at Brockbanks Solicitors will help you cut through the legal complexities and focus on what matters most: the best interests of your child. Whether you are seeking contact and formal custody, contesting a move abroad, or responding to safeguarding concerns, we’ll stand by your side with sensitivity and practical advice that prioritises your family’s future.

Negotiate an agreement

Trained mediators to avoid conflict

Our child law services are designed for parents, guardians, stepparents and relatives with an interest in a child’s care or welfare. This can involve many matters, from resolving disputes after divorce, to practical matters such as where the children will live, how much time they'll spend with each parent, and which school they'll attend. 

 

Irrespective of the circumstances, Brockbanks Solicitors will act as your anchor in the storm, providing calm, measured and effective legal support that helps you reach the desired outcome, amicably.​

Helping you move onwards and upwards

Our family law team can support you with a full range of children issues:
 

  • Paternity

  • Child access/child contact

  • Court orders

  • Dispute resolution

  • Parental responsibility and grandparents’ rights

​

In every case, we look to take a collaborative approach. We will work together with you and your former partner’s legal team to find a solution that is in the best interest of you and your children.
