Child Arrangements

Your Children's Best Interests, Always

When a relationship breaks down, decisions about children — where they live, how much time they spend with each parent, and how major decisions about their lives are made — are often the most difficult and most important. Jennifer approaches these matters with sensitivity, always placing the welfare of your children at the centre of the process.

Where agreement between parents is possible, Jennifer will help you reach a fair and durable arrangement that works for the whole family. Where disputes cannot be resolved by agreement, Jennifer can provide robust representation at court to achieve the outcome your children need.

Areas covered include:

  • Child arrangement orders (residence and contact)
  • Parental responsibility
  • Prohibited steps orders
  • Specific issue orders
  • International child abduction
  • Relocation applications

Cohabitation Issues

Protecting Unmarried Couples' Rights

Despite what many people believe, there is no such thing as a "common law spouse" in English law. Unmarried couples who separate — however long they have lived together — have very limited automatic legal protections, particularly in relation to property. Jennifer helps unmarried couples understand their legal position and take steps to protect themselves.

Whether you are looking to formalise your arrangements before a dispute arises, or you are already facing a separation and need to understand your rights, Jennifer can provide clear, practical advice tailored to your situation.

Areas covered include:

  • Cohabitation agreements
  • Property rights on separation
  • Declarations of trust
  • TOLATA claims (property disputes)
  • Financial provision for children
  • Advice for separating cohabitants
