Family Information
If you are looking at getting married, adopting children, separating, divorcing, making contact arrangements or deciding who can look after children, or want to know your rights or the rights of your ex-partner, new partner or extended family are in relation to your children, then you are looking at Family Advice. This may also cover deaths, wills, birth certificates and relationships.
For many of these issues you should bring details of any marriage, divorce or related court judgments, details of who is named on birth certificates, or where a marriage took place (outside the uk etc), and what other agencies might be involved (social services etc).
Be aware that advice providers often cannot advice both sides of a dispute (divorce or childcare disputes) and if you both approach the same organisation then one of you would need to be referred or signposted elsewhere.
If you have a Relationships issue there is information and details of advice providers available below.
Specialist Relationships Advice Providers what's this?
Specialist Advisers will work, sometimes in a caseworker capacity, to give you detailed assessment and support in relation to your enquiry. They will be aware of the law relating to your enquiry area, case law and the practical application of the law, and will work with you to help you access the best route for you to deal with your enquiry. Specialists usually only deal with more complex cases, such as court procedures, appeals, and tribunals, but please check with individual agencies to see how they can help you.
