When your family's future is at stake, you need solicitors who combine legal expertise with genuine understanding and care.
Child Contact & Access
Child contact, access, or visitation refers to maintaining personal relations between a parent and child when they don't live together. It's both a parental right and responsibility. Parents sometimes find themselves having to fight to see their children.
Whether your child is living with the other parent or another family member, we can help secure contact where it's deemed to be in the child's best interests. We have extensive experience representing clients from pre-litigation correspondence through to evidential hearings.
Residence Orders
Where children live sometimes becomes an issue of dispute. We can assist mothers, fathers, grandparents, or other family members in obtaining a legal order specifying where a child shall live.
We ensure you're fully represented at all stages of proceedings, with significant experience presenting cases at child welfare hearings and proofs if court proceedings become necessary. Legal aid is usually available for individuals who qualify financially.
Parental Rights & Responsibilities
Besides where children live and contact arrangements, parents have various other parental rights and responsibilities including making decisions about medical treatment, education, holidays, and social activities.
We provide expert advice on exercising these rights and how to enforce them. We also assist family members caring for children who don't hold parental rights in gaining the necessary authority to meet the children's needs. Legal aid is usually available, subject to financial assessment.
