Questions concerning the children of a relationship often become emotionally charged, as separating parents, married or unmarried, frequently have different views on what is best for their children. Sometimes, such issues can be resolved with the help of the local authority’s Family Law Office, or by means of an agreement reached on the basis of discussions between the parties’ legal representatives.
In certain cases, however, it may be necessary to turn to the courts to have the matter decided by an outside party.
