Child Matters/Child Abduction

Disputes concerning children can occur at any time and particularly after the breakdown of a relationship.  We can assist in all matters concerning children.

We can also provide specialist advice and assistance in relation to Adoption and Care Proceedings.  Parents have significant rights under the law and only the Courts can remove the most fundamental legal rights of a parent.

We’ve listed some useful information in a Child Matters Factsheet, which includes the following:

• What is Parental Responsibility and do I have it?
• I’m being denied contact what can I do?
• What Orders can the Court make?
• How does the court decide what Orders to make?
• My children don’t live with me, how much maintenance do I have to pay?
  

The Family Law Department is one of twenty firms nationwide who are members of the Lord Chancellor’s Department Child Abduction (Hague Convention) Panel, which means the team is regularly instructed in matters of international child abduction.
