Child Custody

Our personable, experienced team work with the best interests of your child at heart, aiming for an amicable solution at all times

Child Custody Solicitors in London

During a divorce, your child’s wellbeing is always placed at the centre. If you require legal advice regarding child custody — or you’re experiencing difficulty coming to child custody arrangements with your ex — the team at Goodwins is here to help.

Ideally, you will be able to make suitable arrangements without needing to go to court — either through an amicable agreement or by enlisting a mediator. However, when disagreements arise, it’s important that you take the appropriate measures to ensure the best outcome for your child.

As experienced child custody solicitors, we can advise on all areas of child custody. Whether you’d like to make your agreement legally binding, or you require dedicated legal assistance in preparation for court, our child custody lawyers can advise no matter your circumstances.

Established over 30 years, we are one of London’s leading family law firms with an excellent reputation and competitive fee structure.

Located in a convenient location for residents of Harrow and London, the knowledgeable team at Goodwins can talk you through your options with fixed-fee consultations available at a time to suit you. To find out more, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We can also provide legal representation in international child custody cases with ties to other countries in the UK, Europe or worldwide. If you need to contact us from abroad, we offer a worldwide video call service.
