Our specialist child care team advises in all cases in which social services are involved with much of our work funded by legal aid. We advise and represent parents and other family members in applications brought by social services departments for care or supervision orders and can often provide advice even before proceedings are brought.
Private Law could involve disputes between parents, grandparents, or siblings or about issues relating to residence, contact, change of name, parental rights or specific issues relating to the schooling or upbringing of a child.
Disagreements can often arise when couples separate; in this situation it is important to try to resolve disputes quickly and with the best interests of the child as the primary consideration.
We have experience and expertise in both private and public areas of the law in relation to children.
Public Law includes actions taken by social services for the protection of children and could involve in court proceedings for the removal of children from their parents.
How can we help?
We have a specialist child care team focussed exclusively on child custody issues, through matrimonial breakdown or other reasons. With vast experience in contact and residence cases following separation or divorce, we also conduct childcare cases and act for specifically for children, their parents or grandparents.
Patience and understanding combined with the experience in handling these sensitive issues in Childcare enable us to offer the very best legal representation in child care issues. We also specialise in private disputes between parents and their children and have extensive experience in representing children and family members in care and adoption proceedings.
The needs of any children involved in a family breakdown are always our primary concern. We will work with you to ensure that your children come through the process with the most stable arrangements possible for them in relation to both residence and contact. We can also advise on legal aid entitlement.
