Employing Douglas Wright Solicitors for family law matters, especially regarding contact arrangements with children, can be highly beneficial for several reasons:

 

Expert Legal Knowledge

Family law can be complex and is often subject to frequent changes. We have the legal knowledge to guide you through the process and ensure your rights are protected. We will explain your legal options and the likely outcomes based on your circumstances.

​

Clear and Legally Binding Agreements

Our team will draft formal agreements or consent orders, making arrangements legally binding and enforceable. This reduces the risk of disputes later on.

​

Reducing Conflict and Emotional Stress

Family disputes, especially those involving children, can be emotionally draining. We will act as a neutral third party, facilitating communication and helping to keep discussions constructive. We will handle correspondence with the other party, reducing direct conflict.

​

Child-Focused Solutions

We will prioritise the child's best interests and help you develop a contact arrangement that is fair and practical for everyone involved.

​

Mediation and Negotiation Skills

We are skilled negotiators and can help you reach agreements without going to court. If mediation is necessary, we will support you through the process and ensure that agreements are fair and in line with your rights.

​

Representation in Court

If an agreement cannot be reached, we will represent you in family court and present your case effectively. We will ensure that the necessary documents are prepared and filed correctly and that deadlines are met.

​

Protection from Coercion or Manipulation

If there is a history of domestic abuse, coercion or power imbalance, we will protect you from being pressured into an unfair agreement.

​

Ensuring Compliance and Enforcement

If the other party breaches the agreement, we will help you take appropriate legal action to enforce the order.

​

Avoiding Costly Mistakes

Legal mistakes, such as poorly worded agreements or missed deadlines, can be costly to fix later. The team at Douglas Wright Solicitors will help you get it right the first time.

​

Peace of Mind

Knowing you have professionals handling the legal aspects of your case allows you to focus on your family and well-being.
