Whether you are paying or receiving child maintenance, our Family Law team helps you understand your rights and options.
Every parent has a responsibility to support their children financially, regardless of the relationship with the other parent. Whether through informal arrangements or through court orders, we ensure children receive the financial support they need when child maintenance (CMS) is not enough.
We advise on additional support for school fees, activities, housing and other needs.
