When parents separate and there are children involved they can often find themselves isolated and cut-off from them.
In most cases the first step in resolving disputes over children is family mediation. The court require parents to consider mediation as a first step. Mediation is not always suitable, and you can find a list of reasons why mediation may not be appropriate here.
If mediation is not appropriate or fails the next step is applying to family court for assistance. Most orders are made under section 8 of the Children’s Act 1989.
