Our Child Law Services
We offer comprehensive support across a range of child law matters, ensuring the child’s welfare remains paramount in every decision.
Child Residence & Contact
Determining where a child lives and how they maintain relationships with both parents can be complex. Our team assists in establishing fair and practical arrangements, whether through mutual agreement or court intervention.
International Relocation of Children
When one parent wishes to move abroad with their child, it can lead to intricate legal challenges. We provide guidance on the legal requirements and represent your interests to ensure any relocation serves the child’s best interests.
Child Abduction and the Hague Convention
In cases where a child is taken abroad without consent, swift legal action is crucial. Our solicitors are experienced in handling international child abduction cases, working under the Hague Convention to secure the child’s return.
