Members of the team specialise in general disputes about the
arrangements for children, financial provision for children, and
private adoption law and public law.
When parents separate, they often disagree about what should
happen to children. The courts encourage parents to agree the
arrangements between them. Failing this, it is only when
parents can't agree what should happen that the courts have
wide-ranging powers to intervene in the best interests of the
children.
We can deal with many issues including the following:
- parental responsibility
- residence orders, contact, specific issue and prohibited steps
orders
- child abduction
- applications for permission to take a child
abroad
- financial provision for children
- change of name deeds
- applications to remove a child from the jurisdiction
permanently .
