Unmarried Parties - Financial Provision for Children

Glanvilles have a wide range of skills when it comes to dealing with children and finances. Our solicitors pride themselves on their expert knowledge and practical approach which is required when dealing with financial provision for children.

Married and unmarried couples do not have the same legal rights on the breakdown of a relationship. This becomes more apparent when there are children who need to be provided for and there is a dispute about the family home.

Child Support

Any issues in relation to maintenance for children can only be dealt with by the Child Support Agency if agreement is not possible. The Court does not have the power to order child maintenance, other than in exceptional cases.

Capital

If the primary carer of the child requires financial assistance from the other parent, an application can be made to the Court under Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989, if matters cannot be agreed.

The Court can make various orders to include periodical payments, lump sum payments, settlement of property or transfer of property. Before the Court would make such orders, it would have to consider the financial position of both parties. As in matrimonial financial proceedings; full and frank financial disclosure will be required.

“On two occasions I have brought to Glanvilles what in my mind were no-hope cases involving claims against third parties outside of the UK (in one case a company headquartered in central Russia) and both times happily I have been proved wrong. People discount the power and professionalism of Glanvilles at their peril."

"Lorna and Charlotte, Thank you so much for providing us with such a swift and efficient service for the second time. You have been invaluable in making the transaction of both properties as seamless as it could be. You deal with everything with such speed, it takes a lot of stress out of the process to be given such a good service through fast responses and actions."

"We are very happy to endorse Glanvilles and Tom Oliver's services in particular. We found the Glanvilles team to be proactive, well considered and considerate to our situation. Tom took time to ascertain the situation thoroughly and explained the potential outcomes, referencing previous cases. He then formulated a plan of action and we made sure that we had all the relevant documents to hand should they be needed. It was a very stressful time following the bereavement of a loved one and it was worth every penny to have Tom's knowledge and expertise in our corner."

In this unprecedented time, he has been professional throughout, having to deal with very difficult circumstances and extraordinary demands from 'the other side'. Oliver has been very pragmatic and understanding in his approach and we cannot thank him enough. We will certainly be using his services again in the near future."
