Child Custody Agreements

One of the most difficult aspects of a family break-up can be when children are involved, and the overall impact this can have on them. We will help you as a parent to support your child and offer advice on the best way to reach an agreement for the benefit and best interests of the children being met.

There will be many questions when you’re separating or going through a divorce and have children, one of the main questions being who will look after them. As parents it’s your responsibility to keep your child healthy, safe and their overall wellbeing. From the law’s side, that is focussed solely on the protection of the children’s rights and to make sure where possible they can have a relationship with both parents.

We can help set up a child agreement for you, in the past the terms used for this were custody, access, residence or contact. In the ideal world it would be the parents who decide on these agreements together, but when a family breaks up it’s only normal this can then lead to disputes when trying to come to an agreement. If no child agreement can be put into place, then the court can assist to set up an order which decides on who the children will live with and how often they spend time with the other parent. Going through a separation or divorce can be a difficult time for all involved and our experienced experts in this field will ensure everyone important to you is looked after for the best agreement to be put into place.

In Scotland, in order to obtain a divorce, the marriage has to have broken down and this could be as a result of one of the following grounds:

• Unreasonable behaviour
• Adultery
• Separation for over one year (If both parties agree)
• Separation for over two years (consent is not necessary)

There are a few different types of divorce, that now don’t even need to go into the actual reasons for the separation. More can be found on each of these types of divorce in our page links below or by talking with us about your case. We can advise you further on the best solution for your own needs.

The quickest and cheapest type of divorce is a Simplified Divorce and you need to have been separated for over a year, and have no children under 16. All financial matters between you and your spouse must be resolved, as no financial claim can be made as part of this type of divorce.  Next you have an undefended Ordinary Divorce (and have children under the age of 16) with no financial claims the undefended procedure is relatively straightforward, and can be dealt with by a local sheriff court in approx. 10-12 weeks.

The whole process is more straightforward if the parties can reach an agreement about the welfare of the children and the financial situation. If agreement can’t be reached on these outcomes, then a more complex divorce case could go through mediation stages, before finally being decided by the courts.
