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. 

  What Are My Rights As A Parent? 

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.
