Hartnell Chanot: Divorce/Family Law Solicitors Exeter, Devon

Just Dads

Providing legal, practical and emotional advice for dads and
lone fathers across the UK.

At Hartnell Chanot & Partners we work to promote fair and impartial treatment for both parties, not to give one parent or the other an unfair advantage: and the welfare of your children is paramount to what we do.

There are many factors in the divorce process that can make it particularly difficult for fathers and it is essential that you receive good legal advice at an early stage to understand your rights and the rights of your children during separation.

When faced with a case concerning children, fathers need to be aware that your actions now can seriously affect your chances of staying in close touch with your children. The courts place great weight on the existing circumstances (such as where children live and how often you see your children - see maintaining the Status Quo), and you need to think very carefully before moving out of the family home and away from your children.

There are many options available such as Shared Parenting that will enable you to continue to have a strong positive parenting role in your children's lives, and for the benefit of your children and yourselves, it is important to maintain an amicable relationship their mother.

JustDads contains legal, practical and emotional advice for all fathers whether you are in the process of separating, are a single dad looking for support, have regular contact with your children and would like ideas on what to do or where to go, or if you are experiencing problems with existing arrangements and would like to know your rights. In addition we offer guidance on practical issues such ancillary relief and financial settlements, how to support two homes, protecting your business and what happens to your pension.

Whatever your situation, we can help.
