Our Family Law Services
At Child First Divorce Law, we understand that family disputes can be emotionally overwhelming and legally complex. Whether you are facing divorce, child arrangement issues, financial disputes, or court proceedings, our focus is always on protecting your parental rights and securing the best outcome for your child.
We provide structured guidance, court preparation support, and practical legal assistance tailored to your situation. Our approach is child-focused, strategic, and legally compliant with UK family court procedures.
No matter how complicated your case may seem, we help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Child Arrangements
Child Arrangement cases decide where a child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent. Disputes often arise after separation, especially when communication breaks down. We assist parents in preparing strong applications for Child Arrangements Orders or responding effectively to court proceedings.
Our support includes drafting witness statements, organising evidence, and helping you understand the Family Court process. We ensure your position is presented clearly while prioritising the child’s welfare, which is the court’s main concern.
Whether you are seeking regular contact, defending against false allegations, or requesting a variation of an existing order, we provide structured guidance at every stage. Our goal is to help you secure fair, stable, and child-focused arrangements that protect your parental rights.
Divorce Proceedings
Divorce under the UK no-fault system may seem straightforward, but mistakes in paperwork or financial planning can create long-term complications. We assist individuals through every stage of divorce proceedings, from filing the initial divorce application to obtaining the final order.
Our guidance ensures all documents are correctly prepared, deadlines are met, and related matters such as child arrangements and financial claims are carefully considered. Divorce is not only about ending a marriage; it often involves property division, child arrangements, and financial settlements.
We help you understand your legal position and prepare for each stage of the court process with clarity and confidence. Proper preparation reduces stress and avoids unnecessary delays.
Non-Molestation Orders
Non-Molestation Orders are designed to protect individuals from harassment, threats, or domestic abuse. If you are at risk, urgent action may be required to secure court protection. We assist in preparing detailed applications supported by clear evidence so the court understands the seriousness of the situation.
If you have been served with a Non-Molestation Order based on false allegations, we also provide structured guidance to help you respond and defend your case effectively. These cases require careful preparation and accuracy.
Our approach focuses on ensuring that your application or defence is presented clearly and professionally before the Family Court. Immediate and well-prepared action can significantly impact the outcome.
Child Law Orders
Child Law Orders are required when parents disagree on major decisions such as schooling, relocation, medical treatment, or travel abroad. When agreement cannot be reached, the Family Court may need to intervene.
We assist in preparing applications for Specific Issue Orders or defending against Prohibited Steps Orders. Our support ensures your arguments are structured clearly and focused on the child’s best interests, which is the court’s priority.
These cases often involve urgent and sensitive decisions. We guide you through evidence preparation, documentation, and procedural requirements to strengthen your position. With proper preparation, you can present a calm and well-organised case.
Father’s Rights
Fathers often face challenges maintaining meaningful involvement in their child’s life after separation. We provide structured support for fathers seeking fair child arrangements and recognition of their parental responsibility.
Whether you are an unmarried father needing to establish parental responsibility or seeking regular contact through a Child Arrangements Order, we help you prepare strong applications supported by evidence. The court’s primary focus is the child’s welfare, and we ensure your involvement is presented as beneficial and stable.
We guide you through documentation, court preparation, and understanding your legal rights under UK family law. Every parent deserves a fair opportunity to maintain a loving relationship with their child.
Marriage Annulment
Marriage annulment is different from divorce because it legally declares that the marriage was never valid. In the UK, annulment (nullity of marriage) applies only under specific legal grounds, such as lack of consent, fraud, non-consummation, or if the marriage was legally invalid from the start.
We assist clients in understanding whether their situation qualifies as a void or voidable marriage under UK family law. Our support includes preparing the nullity application, drafting statements, and ensuring proper evidence is presented to the Family Court.
Annulment cases require careful legal reasoning and structured documentation. With the right preparation, you can present a clear and legally sound case before the court.

Annulment cases require careful legal reasoning and structured documentation. With the right preparation, you can present a clear and legally sound case before the court.
Separation Agreements
Family mediation provides an opportunity to resolve disputes without lengthy and costly court proceedings. It is commonly required before making certain Family Court applications, particularly in child arrangement and financial matters.
We help you prepare effectively for mediation sessions so you understand your legal position and can negotiate confidently. Preparation is key to ensuring discussions remain child-focused and productive.
Mediation can reduce stress, save time, and protect co-parenting relationships. However, entering mediation without proper guidance may weaken your position. We support you in organising relevant documents, identifying key issues, and preparing practical proposals.
When approached correctly, mediation can lead to stable, long-term agreements without the uncertainty of court hearings.
CAFCASS Preparation
CAFCASS plays a significant role in Family Court cases involving children. Their safeguarding letter and recommendations often influence the final outcome of Child Arrangements Orders. Proper preparation for a CAFCASS interview is essential.
We help you understand the purpose of the CAFCASS assessment and prepare clear, child-focused responses. Our guidance includes reviewing key concerns, structuring your communication, and ensuring your position reflects the child’s best interests.
Many parents feel anxious before a CAFCASS interview. With structured preparation, you can approach the process confidently and avoid common mistakes that may negatively impact your case. Strong preparation can make a meaningful difference in court outcomes.
TOLATA Claims
TOLATA claims (Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996) resolve property disputes between unmarried couples or cohabiting partners. If your name is not on the property title but you contributed financially, you may have a beneficial interest in the property.
We assist in preparing structured TOLATA applications supported by financial evidence, communication records, and contribution proof. These cases often involve complex legal arguments regarding ownership and equity shares.
Property disputes can be financially significant and emotionally stressful. Clear documentation and strategic preparation are essential to protect your rights.
We guide you through the legal framework and court preparation to strengthen your claim or defence.
Breach of Orders
When a Family Court Order is breached, enforcement action may be necessary to ensure compliance. This commonly occurs in Child Arrangements Orders where contact is repeatedly denied or ignored.
We assist in preparing enforcement applications supported by clear evidence of the breach. The court has the power to impose penalties, vary orders, or take corrective action where necessary.
Ignoring a court order can undermine stability for children and create ongoing conflict. Taking prompt and structured action demonstrates seriousness and protects your legal position.
We guide you through the enforcement process, ensuring documentation is accurate and professionally presented before the court.
Financial Claims
Financial claims arise during divorce or separation to determine how assets, savings, pensions, property, and income will be divided. A fair financial settlement is essential to protect your long-term stability.
We assist in preparing financial disclosure documents, reviewing asset structures, and organising evidence for court proceedings or negotiation. Whether the matter involves spousal maintenance, lump sum payments, or property transfer, structured preparation is crucial.
Financial disputes can become complex, particularly when significant assets or business interests are involved. Clear documentation and realistic settlement proposals improve the chances of achieving a balanced outcome.
Our approach focuses on protecting your financial rights while ensuring compliance with UK Family Court procedures.
