Child Law

It is important to ensure that your children are the first priority, and their welfare is paramount.

We have an unrivalled knowledge of all aspects of children law.

We work with families, focusing on children’s needs and giving parents the best advice and support for their family life and future arrangements.

Our private family law team advise on:

  • Child Arrangement Order – including with whom a child should live and how much time a child should spend with the other parent. 
  • Specific Issue Order – to identify and determine specifics issues such as where the child should attend school.
  • Prohibited Steps Order – to include prohibiting a child from being removed from the country or school.
  • Parental responsibility and declarations of parentage
  • LGBTQ+ family arrangements
  • Special guardianship
  • Permission to relocate abroad or within the UK

How we can help with Children matters.

Our team understands how your children are your primary importance and seek to support you through the process in a child-focused manner.
