This area covers the financial matters connected with children after separation or divorce, including child maintenance and any court-ordered financial support for a child. A solicitor in this area helps clients secure or review payments for a child’s needs, draft or negotiate consent orders, and apply to the Family Court for appropriate financial provisions such as child maintenance, lump sum payments for school fees or other expenses, and variations or enforcement of existing orders. Proceedings are typically conducted in the county courts or the Family Court, and may involve coordination with the Child Maintenance Service where applicable. The work is shaped by the child’s welfare and the parents’ respective responsibilities.
The protection of a child’s financial security is central: court orders set binding payment obligations with clear deadlines, and enforcement mechanisms apply if a parent fails to pay. A solicitor ensures that orders reflect the child’s needs, the parents’ financial circumstances, and any relevant resources, and can advise on variations if circumstances change or disruptions occur.
