Children matters
Child care matters
Financial settlements and disputes
Pre and post nuptial agreements
Cohabitation Disputes and Agreements
Unmarried couples have different legal rights and responsibilities in relation to property, finances and children to their married counterparts. It is important for you to take specialist legal advice on such a complex area of law. On separation, you may need legal advice on issues regarding your children. All mothers automatically acquire parental responsibility as do all married fathers. Did you know that, for all children born after 1 December 2003, a father who jointly registers with the mother the child`s birth, will also automatically acquire parental responsibility even if they are unmarried?
Milwyn Jenkins and Jenkins are committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes and are required to follow a code of practice that promotes a non-confrontational approach to family problems and encourage solutions that consider the needs of the whole family - in particular the best interests of children.
This is a distressingly common situation and one that needs to be addressed urgently. Milwyn Jenkins & Jenkins would urge you to contact us for specialist and confidential priority advice regarding your options. These include making contact with the police who have dedicated domestic abuse units and are required to respond immediately to requests for assistance.
Our specialist lawyers at Milwyn Jenkins & Jenkins Solicitors will be happy to advise and assist you without obligation in plain English and will be happy to answer any questions or queries you may have.
