Disputes Involving Children

We can advise and represent you when your family is finding it difficult to agree on arrangements for the children. We can also help when social services become involved with your children. This often happens following relationship breakdown or when families fall out. This can be an emotional and challenging time for any family and our experienced team of experts in child law can help by advising you about your rights and your options and represent you to achieve a solution.

We have a proven track record of dealing with any of these problems:
Contact disputes
It can be difficult and stressful to manage the arrangements for your children to spend time with other family members at times of family dispute or relationship breakdown. We can advise you and find a way forward which is in the best interests of your children.
Where a child should live
This can often be a source of dispute and we can advise you about your options and how to proceed to achieve the best outcome for your children.
Leaving the country
If you wish to move to another country with your children you will need the permission of any other adult with parental responsibility. This can sometimes mean an application to court if you cannot resolve it between you. We can advise and represent you on this difficult issue.
Parental responsibility
This is the legal term indicating who has the right to make decisions about children. Unmarried fathers, or step-parents often do not have parental responsibility and we can advise you how to get it and what it means if you do not have it.
Special guardianship orders
Many family members consider making an application for this type of court order in order to safeguard children. We can advise you about the best option for your situation and represent you in any court proceedings.
Grandparents rights
As a Grandparent you often worry about your children and grandchildren. We can advise you about your legal position and what you can do about any concerns you may have.
Representation of children
If you are considered to have sufficient maturity you are entitled to have your own solicitor. We have experienced specialists who are members of The Law Society Children Panel who are able to advise and represent you. We also represent children through their Children’s Guardians.
Adoption
Whether your child is being adopted against your wishes or you want to adopt a child we can advise and represent you.
Foster carer issues
As a foster carer you may encounter difficulties about your legal position and options. We can advise you about how best to deal with such situations.
