Cost effective and high quality family work

Children: The Courts are concerned with the quality of care that can be given to children. They are not especially impressed by, for example, who has the larger income or more possessions. To a certain extent the Courts are not interested in the parents, they are old enough to 'fend' for themselves, but will be particularly concerned to protect the children's well being.

We are in a position to advise you on matters such as:

Who has Parental Responsibility;

Residence - an order deciding with whom a child is going to live;
Contact - how much contact or visiting the absent parent should be entitled to have with his/her children;
Specific Issue - an order to decide a particular issue or point i.e. how/where a child should be educated or whether the child should have certain medical treatment;
Prohibited Steps Orders - an order to prevent someone from doing something with or to a child, for example, the removal of the child from the UK or the change of the child's surname.
