Child Maintenance Sheffield
What is child maintenance?
Child maintenance is a recurring payment provided by one parent to the other. The pay out is computed based on a variety of factors and conditions and covers the child's living expenses.
Separated parents should try to discuss and agree on a child support amount. This, however, is not always achievable. In this situation, they would apply to the CMS (Child Maintenance Service), which arranges and collects child support payments.
Our Sheffield divorce solicitors have assisted numerous couples with resolving child maintenance concerns through the CMS and, on occasion, the court system.
Custody (Child Arrangements Order) Sheffield
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 minor reaches the age of 18.
Our Sheffield family law experts can assist you in navigating the process and resolving issues as swiftly and pleasantly as possible.
