Child Law Solicitors in Edinburgh & Glasgow

Advice You Can Trust During Tough Times

lawyers Edinburgh

At Gibson Kerr, we understand that matters involving children are deeply personal and often emotionally challenging. Our dedicated child law solicitors in Edinburgh and Glasgow are committed to providing sensitive, clear, and expert legal advice to help you navigate these complex issues.

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.

Adoption

Adopting a child is a life-changing decision. We guide prospective adoptive parents through the legal process, ensuring all requirements are met for a successful adoption.

Fertility Law

Modern family-building methods, such as surrogacy and assisted reproduction, involve complex legal considerations. Our team offers advice on parental rights and legal parenthood to ensure your family’s security.

Family Dispute Resolution

Not all disputes need to end in court. We offer alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation and collaborative law, to help families reach amicable agreements in a less adversarial setting.

  • Expertise: Our solicitors specialise in child law, bringing years of experience to each case.
  • Compassion: We approach every situation with sensitivity, understanding the emotional complexities involved.
  • Tailored Advice: We provide personalised legal solutions that align with your family’s unique needs.

I’d really like to thank you so much (as well as Scott and the rest of your team) for getting me through this dreadful and rather protracted episode. You have all been wonderful, supportive and patient in the midst of all my quandaries and neediness. So, thanks. I’m really grateful for all you have done.
