At LKW Solicitors, our experienced family law solicitors have a wealth of experience in helping clients with any issues concerning grandparents’ rights and parental responsibility agreements. We understand how difficult it can be to negotiate these matters and we are here to provide the advice, support and guidance you need throughout the process. 

Grandparent rights refer to a grandparent's legal right to access their grandchildren either through contact or visitation rights. In Scotland there is no automatic right for a grandparent to be able to see their grandchildren, so if you are trying to get access it is important that you seek legal advice as soon as possible. 

When parents separate, the issue of parental responsibility arises. This refers to the rights and responsibilities that parents have over their child as well as who makes decisions on behalf of them. It can include aspects such as medical care or religious upbringing. In some circumstances, grandparents may also acquire parental responsibility if they have been granted contact rights with their grandchildren. 

At LKW Solicitors we understand how important it is for families to be able to maintain relationships – even when parents separate or divorce - and we strive to help our clients achieve this outcome whenever possible. Our experienced lawyers will work closely with you throughout your case, taking into account your individual circumstances in order to provide effective advice tailored specifically for you and your family’s needs.  

We offer an initial consultation free of charge so that you can find out more about how our services can help you and what options are available before making a commitment. During this meeting we will discuss your goals, provide advice on legal action that might be taken and answer any questions that you may have – all without any obligation or cost. 

If appropriate steps cannot be agreed upon amicably then our team of family lawyers will represent your interests in court proceedings if necessary in order to ensure fair terms are reached regarding the issue at hand – whether it be concerned with grandparents’ rights or obtaining parental responsibility agreements - in the best interests of all parties involved.  

 At LKW Solicitors we take pride in providing high quality legal services at affordable prices from qualified specialists who understand how challenging these matters can be for families involved and aim make the process as stress-free as possible while achieving optimal results with minimal disruption.. If you would like more information about how we could assist with resolving matters related to grandparents’ rights or parental responsibility agreements then please do not hesitate to get in touch with us today!

Property Division

At LKW Solicitors, our priority is providing first-class legal advice and support for our clients. Our team of experienced family law solicitors are here to help you navigate the complex legal system surrounding domestic abuse and protection orders. 

We understand that this can be a difficult and sensitive topic to discuss, so you can rely on us to provide support throughout every step of your case. We will also offer a free initial consultation so you can begin to explore your options with no financial commitment.  

What Are Domestic Abuse & Protection Orders?  

Domestic abuse is an umbrella term for any form of controlling, coercive or violent behaviour within the home between partners or family members. This can include physical, verbal, psychological and sexual abuse as well as economic control.  

An interdict or non-harassment order is a legally binding order from a court to protect people from any further harm caused by an abuser. It usually includes various restrictions on the abuser's behaviour such as limiting their contact with the protected person or restricting them from entering certain areas. It is possible to apply for a protection order if you have been a victim of any kind of domestic abuse or harassment. 

An interdict is similar to a non-harassment order but applies more generally rather than specifically to one individual or group. It could involve effective boundaries being put in place around property to stop people entering it without permission, or it could be used instead of an injunction if there has been no physical contact between two people but one person feels threatened or intimidated by another individual’s conduct towards them. 

Restricting Occupancy Rights: What are they?

An order restricting occupancy rights can prevent someone who owns or has a right to live in a property from being there. This will prevent someone who is abusive from living at the property even if they  are the owner. It would also protect anyone else who has lived at the property before they left due to fear of harm (known as ‘permitted occupier’).  

Non-harassment orders are used when someone feels harassed, alarmed or distressed by another person’s conduct towards them – even if that person has never threatened violence against them directly. The order will prevent any further contact between two people (in person, via text messages etc.).  

 By working closely with our clients throughout their cases, our family law solicitors can provide expert advice on how best to handle difficult situations involving domestic abuse and protection orders. We aim to make sure that our clients feel supported throughout every step of their case; ensuring that their rights are protected under relevant laws and regulations in Scotland.

What Are Child Custody or Contact Disputes? 

A Child Custody or Contact dispute arises when parents disagree on the arrangements for their children’s care. This includes decisions about where the children should live, who should have parental responsibility for them and how much contact each parent should have with them. The court may be asked to intervene if both parties are unable to come to an agreement. 

Our experienced family law solicitors can give you advice on what actions you may wish to take in order to resolve any disputes that arise in relation to arrangements concerning your children. We will work closely with both parties involved, making sure that all relevant factors are taken into account before providing a strategy tailored specifically for your individual circumstances. 

Under Scots Law, both parents have equal rights and responsibility for their children until either party obtains a court order granting one person sole parental responsibility or shared parental responsibility between both parties. Parents also have an obligation towards their child financially; this includes providing food, clothing and shelter as well as paying maintenance costs such as nursery fees or school trips where applicable. 

The court will consider several factors when determining a child contact or custody arrangement including; understanding child/children, which parent has had primary residence during the relationship breakdown and any special needs of either of the parties involved or their children. Our solicitors can advise on what rights each parent has under current legislation and how best these rights can be exercised within the confines of family law legislation.

 Legal Advice on Financial Support Matters & Civil Partnership/Marriage Dissolution 

Our solicitors have vast experience in dealing with financial support matters and civil partnership/marriage dissolutions. When it comes to these areas of family law there are numerous considerations which must be taken into account including assets, debts, pensions and other investments which need to be discussed prior to any arrangement being made legally binding. In addition there may be issues relating to children from the relationship which must be agreed upon before any divorce or dissolution can proceed.  

 It is important that any agreements made reflect both parties' wishes whilst also taking into account their legal entitlements under Scots Law; this is where our solicitors come in - they will explain everything clearly and advise on what would be best for both parties involved. They will also ensure everything has been properly considered before making any arrangements legally binding as well as offering advice on how different provisions may affect either party depending on their individual circumstances.

 Our aim is always to ensure clients receive accurate advice regarding applicable laws surrounding these areas of family law; whilst at the same time protecting them from potential pitfalls which can occur during such proceedings through careful consideration of each case's unique requirements prior to making any agreements legally binding. This approach allows us to achieve outcomes which reflect both parties' wishes without risking either party's legal entitlements under Scots Law being overlooked or ignored due to lack of knowledge regarding relevant laws pertaining thereto – thus helping ensure a smoother resolution process overall.

Financial Support Matters, Civil Partnership & Marriage Dissolution

Are you looking for an experienced and reliable family law solicitor to help you with financial support matters or civil partnership dissolution? Look no further than lkw solicitors, who offer comprehensive legal services for these issues. With our team of dedicated professionals, we can provide you with the best advice and guidance throughout your case.

We understand that entering into a Prenuptial or Cohabitation Agreement or negotiating and signing a Separation Agreement is a big step, so at LKW Solicitors our experienced family law solicitors can help you navigate the complex legal process. 

At LKW Solicitors, we focus on helping couples who are entering into prenuptial, cohabitation agreements or negotiating matters for a Separation Agreement to ensure that their arrangements are legally binding and robust. They may relate to protecting pre-marital assets or financial matters and/or simply cover carefully negotiated care arrangements for children.  Our experienced solicitor will provide clear, jargon-free advice on the law applicable to your circumstances and ensure that all issues affecting your rights and obligations are considered. 

A prenuptial agreement sets out what should happen to assets in the event of separation or death. It gives each party a clear understanding of the assets held by each at the time of marriage and how assets acquired during the marriage will be divided upon separation or death. This can save significant time and costs during any subsequent proceedings. 

Cohabitation agreements provide similar protection for unmarried couples living together, setting out what should happen if they decide to end their relationship or one partner dies. This provides clarity over who owns what property and assets, as well as giving both parties peace of mind about their respective financial security. 

 How Can A Prenuptial Agreement Or Cohabitation Agreement Be Enforced? 

Prenuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements are legally binding documents that are written according to specific guidelines in order for them to be enforceable by Scottish courts should there be a dispute between parties later down the line. However, no matter how well crafted an agreement may be, it must meet certain criteria set out by Scots law in order for it to be enforced if challenged in court. At LKW solicitors, our professional team is highly knowledgeable about these criteria meaning that when drawing up or negotiating such documents on behalf of clients we fully understand what will make them legally binding should they ever need enforced in court at any time in the future.
