ROBERTSON WYSE SOLICITORS

Whether it’s a simple divorce or a complex separation agreement, we can assist following the breakdown of a marriage. We can advise and guide you through issues such as aliment and child maintenance and assist with pensions shares and dealing with the matrimonial home.

The main issue is often how the breakdown of the relationship affects the children and the care arrangements which require to be regulated. We can act in contentious court disputes or amicable agreements and support you throughout the process on all legal issues arising.  In some situations shared care agreements work best for everyone. Of course there are some added stresses for children and parents. There can be thought to be no unique sense of ‘home’, there are differing parental discipline and expectations to contend with. It can be sad when you see your children are not able; to maintain peer groups and they say they miss their friends. We all want what’s best for our children. The issue of distance, especially for travel to school can be a worrying factor for parents. Nevertheless, children in shared parenting arrangements (including very young children) showed better outcomes than living with just one parent which is a positive thing! The new life of a fractured family can be extremely challenging and stressful and we will endeavour to make it better for you and your family in any way we can. 

Unfortunately there are also cases, often involving domestic abuse, where children should not see their parent and this is extremely difficult and we can advise on this if need be.
