News and Insights

Clare Woodhouse, Managing Associate in Viberts Family Law team has recently been interviewed by ITV where she provided her thoughts on the growing challenges many parents in Jersey face in relation to child maintenance.

For many families, inconsistent or unpaid maintenance can place significant financial and emotional pressure on the parent with day-to-day care responsibilities. Rising living costs, housing pressures, and the difficulty of navigating arrangements after separation can leave parents struggling to provide stability for their children.

The interview below highlights the impact this can have not only on finances, but also on stress, mental wellbeing, and family relationships. Greater awareness and access to support services are essential to help parents understand their rights, access advice, and work towards fair and sustainable arrangements that prioritise the wellbeing of children.

Clare Woodhouse continues to play an important role in supporting families across Jersey through advice, advocacy, and practical support.
