When people are contemplating living together or when their relationship breaks down, it is always best to know at an early stage how the law may apply to your own personal circumstances. At Hill & Robb, it is our experience that taking divorce law, or legal separation advice at an early stage is crucial and can go a long way to keeping lines of communication open and amicable. At Hill & Robb, helping you to make informed decisions is an important part of our job in assisting you through the often difficult and emotionally distressing times that divorce settlements can create.

Some situations, such as ensuring on-going contact with your children and safeguarding their best interests, ensuring a level of financial support, and in some cases protecting you from violence or intimidation, may all require urgent attention. Every case Hill & Robb divorce lawyers handle is different – our objective is to help you reach informed decisions and agreements on such issues as amicably as possible and without having to resort to court action unless such steps are necessary to achieve a fair financial settlement for you or child care arrangements which meet your child’s needs.

Child Residence and Contact Issues

When relationships end, it can be a confusing and anxious time for all involved and especially so for children. In most circumstances it is important for children to maintain a bond with both of their parents or indeed with any other family member who they may have developed a close attachment to. Relations can be strained between former partners and sometimes their children are caught in the middle. Disputes can arise regarding which parent is best placed to care for the child or children or what level of contact the non-resident parent should have with the child.

At Hill and Robb we will be able to assist you with securing a Residence Order, Contact Order, Parental Rights and Parental Responsibilities Order. The law in Scotland will always seek to act towards what is in the child’s best interests and we will be able to provide you with expert advice on what your legal rights are.
