Making child maintenance arrangements is often one of the most difficult aspects of a separation or divorce. Disputes in this area can cause significant stress and may prolong the process. If you are unsure where to begin — or want to make sure the right arrangements are put in place — seeking advice from experienced family law solicitors is essential.

At Mary Molloy & Company Solicitors, we provide clear, practical guidance tailored to your circumstances. Our team supports you at every stage, ensuring you understand your options and that your interests, and those of your child, are fully protected.

When agreement cannot be reached — either directly or through mediation — it may be necessary to apply to court for a maintenance order. This is where professional legal support is vital. Our experienced child maintenance solicitors manage the process on your behalf, guiding you towards a fair outcome.

The level of child maintenance depends on several factors, and every case is different. If you want to begin with practical, straightforward advice on how these factors may apply to you, a fixed-fee consultation with our team can be an invaluable first step.

With over 35 years in practice, we have advised on countless divorce and separation cases involving maintenance disputes, and are recognised for our client-focused approach and proven track record in achieving fair, workable solutions.
