Children
Helping you put your children first
Making sure separation affects children as little as possible is difficult. We appreciate there can be complex issues involved and emotions are often charged. Ensuring the right outcome for your children can be challenging and we will support you through this.
We're here to help you.
In a perfect world, decisions relating to where children live and the contact they have with each parent can be reached amicably. In reality this is not always the case. We can support you through the process and make sure the children's well-being is at the forefront.
Mediation vs Court
Mediation is an alternative to court and can minimise some of the stress involved.
By choosing mediation you can try to avoid some of the hurt and anger that is associated with court. When an agreement is made by mutual consent (rather than court mandated), it is much more likely that both parties will abide by the decision.
Mediation can often be cheaper and quicker than the court process.

For Richard Perrins, Partner Coles Miller, Head of Family Department:
"I would not hesitate in recommending Richard Perrins to someone. He was professional and helpful. But, the absolute best quality he showed me was empathy. I felt that Richard was helping me 100% of the time. He also reassured me on several occasions when the other side sent unpleasant letters. I am glad it is all over but heartily thank Richard for all his help."
