Protecting What Matters Most: Child Custody Explained Simply

Understanding Child Custody with Clarity and Support when you need it most

Separation or divorce is difficult, especially when it comes to your children. This process can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, you do not have to face uncertainty alone.

At Portway Solicitors, parents deserve more than legal advice; they deserve reassurance, clarity, and reliable support at every stage. The goal is to help parents move forward with confidence, peace of mind and trust that their child’s wellbeing and future are protected.

How Custody (Child Arrangements) Work in the UK

UK law refers to “child arrangements” rather than custody. This covers where your child lives, how much time they spend with each parent and how major decisions are made.

Most parents have joint parental responsibility, meaning both have a say in matters such as education and health. The court’s main concern is always your child’s best interests. Their safety, their happiness and their stability.

With clear, practical guidance, families can reduce uncertainty and focus on what matters most: ensuring the wellbeing and security of every child.
