During this uncertain time as family lawyers we are receiving a significant number of enquiries from separated parents about how and whether they should continue with arrangements in light of the spread of coronavirus, school closures and further government advice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is very important that we continue to follow government guidelines. If you are not aware of the current Government Advice we have covered this below:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Michael Gove, appeared on both Good Morning Britain and BBC Breakfast News on 24 March 2020. In his initial interview he indicated that all children should remain with the parent in whose care they currently are. In his second interview he both apologised for his lack of clarity in the earlier interview and helpfully clarified the government\u2019s advice which is that\u00a0all children of separated parents under the age of 18 should continue to see both of their parents<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The clear government advice is welcome news for separated parents and means in general that:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Everyone at Lund Bennet appreciate that each case will be very different and every family will have their own particular set of circumstance they have to contend with. We would encourage all separated parents\/families to discuss matters openly and honestly and agree with a plan which works best for the children. If unfortunately, you’re a parent who is being refused time with their child and are unsure if this is reasonable, or if you’re a parent who doesn’t know whether to allow their child to visit their other parent’s home, you may need some legal advice at this time.\u00a0We can offer telephone appointments with our experienced solicitors who can provide practical and sensible guidance at this difficult time.\u00a0Contact us<\/a><\/strong> to book a telephone consultation today.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During this uncertain time as family lawyers we are receiving a significant number of enquiries from separated parents about how and whether they should continue with arrangements in light of the spread of coronavirus, school closures and further government advice.
