At Children in the Middle, we understand how emotionally difficult and legally complex it can be when you’re struggling with contact with your child. Whether you’re facing challenges after separation, dealing with family court proceedings, or responding to a Cafcass report, our experienced direct access barristers are here to advise and guide you.
We provide clear, compassionate legal advice and expert representation to help parents establish, maintain, or improve contact arrangements. Our goal is to help you reach a fair and workable solution that prioritises your child’s wellbeing.
Are You Struggling with Contact?
You may be:
- Not seeing your child at all.
- Facing resistance from your ex-partner over contact arrangements.
- Considering stopping or reducing contact due to concerns.
- Seeing your child but struggling to manage the arrangements.
- Unsure of your legal rights as a parent.
These situations can be incredibly stressful. If you are the parent not seeing your child, it’s vital to seek expert legal advice as soon as possible. The longer contact is lost, the harder it can be to rebuild the relationship.
If you are a parent considering stopping or reducing contact, it’s equally important to get legal guidance before making any decisions. We can help you understand your rights and responsibilities and explore the best options for your child.
