Child Maintenance Preston
What is child maintenance?
Child maintenance is a recurring payment provided by one parent to the other. The payment covers a child's living expenditures and is computed using a variety of factors and conditions.
Separated parents should try to discuss and agree on a child support amount. This, however, is not always achievable. When there is a disagreement, they will apply to the CMS (Child Maintenance Service), which arranges and collects child maintenance payments.
Our Preston divorce lawyers have supported many families to resolve child maintenance issues directly, through the CMS, and sometimes through the court system.
Child Custody (Child Arrangements Order) Preston
What is a child arrangements order?
A child arrangements order is a court order that specifies who is responsible for a child's care, including who the children live with, where they reside, and when and how they will visit each parent. When parents cannot agree on how to care for their children, child arrangements orders are frequently employed.
Several hearings in a family court may be required as part of the child arrangements order procedure. However, once in place, it is legally enforceable and normally lasts until the child reaches the age of 18.
Our Preston family law team can help to support you throughout the process and clarify arrangements as quickly and amicably as possible.
