Child Abduction Issues
Any matter involving children can be particularly sensitive and requires the utmost care. The Children Act 1989 governs how issues involving children should be resolved. We are highly experienced in ensuring that your child’s needs come first.
Often when a relationship between parents breakes down this can impact on their relationship with their children. We can assist in reopening the lines of communication between parents to meet the best interests of your child.
Mediation and the collaborative process have both proven highly successful in amicably resolving disputes about children. We can offer specialist help with these services.
At each of our offices we have lawyers who specialise in child protection work, regularly representing children or their parents within public care proceedings. Association of Lawyers for Children
