Custody of Children

Divorce legislation in the UK determines the custody of children in case of a separation or divorce. This involves awarding the care and control of a child to any one parent or joint custody to both parents. This might also include deciding upon the living arrangements and maintenance matters for the child. In the UK, it is the CSA which determines the maintenance for children whose parents are separated. It is advisable to take the help of a solicitor in dealing with the agency to receive advice on the child’s rights, visitation by parents and so on. It is best to use the services of a divorce lawyer to make the application for the custody of your child, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
