I enjoyed an excellent level of service and received accurate and precise legal advice. The lawyers are hugely talented, sensitive and... focused on getting the very best results. Their no-nonsense and direct approach is most valuable when time and costs are of the essence. I highly recommend them over and above any other law firm I have ever dealt with. Thank you Vardags. Valerie I would like to say working with the staff at Vardags was a great support to me at a difficult time of my life but with their support and sensitivity I was able to get through the experience with less stress and ease. If anyone... is looking for a good legal team I would recommend Vardags. They may cost a bit more but will give you good service. Brenda Hart A responsive and helpful service; quick to understand and advise on the issues. Ian Smith I found myself in a position that I quite simply never dreamt I would be in in a million years. I went to Vardags, initially for advice. All my options were laid out in a very professional yet personal way. We decided to go down... a particular route and as my situation changed , so did the route that Vardags recommended. I had never felt so vulnerable in all my life and so it was very comforting to feel supported at all times. Anya Atkins You may find good or even great lawyers, but based on my personal experience, they are the best. Cliff Krause From the moment Vardags rescued us from a very worrying situation regarding our surrogacy parental order process, we have felt nothing but absolute support and reassurance, received thorough information, top level professionalism... and a truly personal service. Their job is to make the process easier, but they do that with bells on! Over and above. Thank you, thank you.

If you are not married, then you will be able to apply to the court for provision under Schedule 1 of the Children Act. Schedule 1 allows you to claim for the provision of property, a car, and other capital items you need until your child reaches adulthood. If your child is likely to attend private school, you will also be able to apply for an order requiring your spouse, or the other parent, to pay the fees. These can be discharged each term, or else a fund can be set up to pay them. For monthly maintenance, the court only has jurisdiction in certain circumstances. For most couples, child maintenance will be dealt with through the Child Maintenance Service, a government body which applies a calculation requiring the non-resident parent to pay the main carer a percentage of their gross income. Where a paying parent lives abroad, or earns above the CMS maximum, it is possible to apply to the court for child maintenance. This will be determined according to the childs needs and will seek to ensure a good standard of living, comparable with that of the richer parent. For older children, especially those at university, some money may be paid directly to the child. **If you're considering or going through a divorce, click below for a free initial consultation with one of our expert solicitors.** [Click here to read](https://vardags.com/law-guide/children-contact-process/financial-support-children) more or [here for our complete list of Divorce FAQs](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce) [Book Your Free Consultation](https://vardags.com/contact "Book Your Free Consultation") [Vardags climbs ranks of UK's biggest firms in The Lawyer's UK 200](https://vardags.com/posts/vardags-london-climbs-ranks-of-uks-biggest-firms-in-the-lawyers-uk-200) OUR FULL RANGE OF SERVICES -------------------------- Vardags is one of the UK's leading divorce law firms.
