Expert Advice on Children Law
Children law can be a deeply emotional and sensitive area. Whether you’re seeking advice about contact arrangements with your children and an ex-partner, or need guidance on applying for a court order regarding important decisions like schooling, we can help. Our team will explain your legal options clearly and recommend the best course of action based on your priorities and concerns.
We also provide support to wider family members, such as grandparents or other relatives, who may wish to secure contact arrangements or take on long-term care for children in certain circumstances.
Our solicitors include members of the Law Society Children Panel and Resolution-accredited professionals, reflecting our commitment to high standards and constructive resolutions in family law.
Since legal aid for private child law disputes has been significantly reduced, we understand the financial challenges this may pose. We can assess your eligibility for legal aid and, if you do not qualify, provide transparent and realistic information about the costs involved.
With experience in handling a wide range of children law matters, we are here to support you through what can often be a difficult time, ensuring your case is handled with sensitivity and professionalism.
