Where the Child Support Agency is not involved in maintenance claims, we can advise you as to whether you may make a claim against the child’s parent for capital, maintenance, school fees or property. If you and your child’s other parent were not married, you may make financial claims on behalf of your child under the Children Act 1989. These can be for a home in which to live, lump sums to pay for education or special equipment needed by your child.
If you are married these claims are usually included in any divorce proceedings.

"Dear Hannah, I want to thank you very very much for all the work, time and support you and Palmers Solicitors has given me. I know people say that the only people who win in divorce cases are the legal folk, but I do say without your support I really do not know where I would be, so again, thanks."
