Making legal arrangements
Supporting the wellbeing of you and your little ones
The law surrounding same-sex parents can be complicated, which is why working with a team like Brockbanks Solicitors can make all the difference. We encourage couples to seek full legal advice when considering raising a child, so that parents can ensure that they're fully aware of their legal rights, whilst considering what's best for the child/children.
You will need to consider factors like who will have parental responsibility, the role that a child’s biological parents will play, and the legal impact of adoption. As specialists in LGBT family law, these are considerations we can support with, in addition to legal conditions such as the rights of same-sex female couples compared with those of same-sex male couples. Simply get in touch with our team to discuss your issue.
Work with our mediators
Working towards resolutions with the Courts
A separation between LGBT parents can affect children in a number of different ways. However, to mitigate this, we'll help ensure arrangements and issues in relation to your children are resolved sensibly and with sensitivity. Clients often assume they'll need to attend court for disagreements around childcare arrangements however, wherever possible, we'll look to provide an amicable solution that works for all parties involved, outside of the courtroom.
