Children and divorce

Parents have a responsibility to minimise the negative impact of their divorce on the children as much as possible. In addition, as a parent, you are also entitled to the best possible arrangement to shape your new, split-up family situation. We are your expert partner in seeking this balance in the interests of yourself and the children.

Effects of divorce on children

The way a divorce proceeds and the subsequent impact it has on children are closely related. It is therefore important for parents to be able to reach joint agreements about the children, if possible. This can strengthen the trust children have in their new family situation. In addition, it may also be important for some parents to find an arrangement, subject to court intervention if necessary, where conflicts are avoided and the necessary peace of mind can be offered to the children.

The most common aspects to be arranged are residence arrangements (where, when and with whom your children will stay), maintenance (maintenance contributions and arrangements for extraordinary expenses) and parental authority (parental participation and consultation in school choice, religion, etc.).

Our added value

We will assist you in finding a solution tailored to you and your children. How much child support should I pay? What contribution to the children's expenses can I ask for? Which residence arrangement is best for me and my children? Should I opt for a week-week stay or is a one-weekend stay every fortnight better for the children? We will help you see the forest for the trees to find the best possible arrangement from our expert experience!

This is how
it works

Bannister Lawyers is a high-end law firm with specialisations in various branches of law.

You contact us with a question or problem. During this first conversation, we listen to your story, situate the legal framework, and indicate what documents or additional information we still need.

We schedule a consultation, either at our office or via Teams. In that meeting, after an initial study of the initial documents available, we take the time to fully understand the situation, ask the right questions and get the facts clear. A good analysis starts with a good understanding of the facts.

Based on that information, we make a legal assessment of your position. This may lead to the drafting of a notice of default, a settlement proposal or the drafting of a summons in order to capture the court.

After that initial action - such as a formal notice - we evaluate together any response or lack thereof. Sometimes a supplementary letter suffices. In other cases, a (legal) procedure is still appropriate. Everything happens in consultation, with an eye for your goals and interests.
