Our team of specialist family lawyers are seeing an increasing number of unmarried clients seeking advice in respect of financial arrangements for their children.
If you are separating and have children, you may be entitled to make claims on behalf of your children for maintenance, school fees, capital and housing. Although the claims are very different to those of a husband or wife in divorce proceedings, the court’s main concern will always be the needs of the children and their carer, considered in light of the financial resources available.
Many of our family law solicitors have significant experience in the field of financial provision for children, in particular Charlotte Bradley who has co-authored the only book on the subject, “Claims under Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989 (Financial Provision for Children)” published by Resolution in March 2009.
For more information or family law advice regarding your children, please contact Charlotte Bradley on + 44 (0)20 7814 1200 or email cbradley@kingsleynapley.co.uk.
