Children

Contact

Contact is considered the right of the child, rather than the parent. Disputes can often arise in relation to children; who they live with and how often they see each parent.

We can help you to agree contact arrangements with your former partner or spouse and if a dispute arises, we can guide and help you through any necessary court application.

Residence

Residence is often mistakenly referred to as ‘custody’ or ‘access to children’ and is concerned with where the children live.

We can help you to agree where the children live, or if an agreement cannot be reached, we can guide and represent you in any court application.

Child Abduction

If you feel that there is a very real risk that your partner or spouse may abduct your child, we can help you to take the urgent and necessary steps to prevent this. Or, if the abduction has already taken place, we can issue an urgent application at court for your child to be returned.

In these cases, prompt action is key and we would recommend that you seek legal advice immediately.

Specific Issues

Sometimes disputes can arise in relation to schooling, medical issues, religious concerns or the surnames of children.

We can help you to resolve these issues and if an agreement cannot be reached, we can guide and represent you in any necessary court application.
