Children Law – Expert Legal Representation in Private Family Disputes
When disputes arise concerning children, it is essential to have clear, strategic legal
guidance to ensure their best interests are protected. I specialize in Children Law, providing
expert advice and representation in private family disputes, including child arrangements,
parental responsibility, and relocation matters. Whether you are navigating a separation,
facing a dispute over your child’s living arrangements, or seeking to secure your parental
rights, I offer practical legal solutions tailored to your case.
Child Arrangements (Residence & Contact)
When parents separate, ensuring stable and consistent arrangements for children is crucial.
I represent parents in disputes over:
- Where a child should live (residence orders)
- How often and under what conditions a child sees each parent (contact orders)
- Shared parenting agreements
Whether you are seeking to establish, enforce, or vary a child arrangements order, I can
help you navigate the process and secure an outcome that prioritizes your child’s welfare.
Parental Responsibility & Relocation
Parental responsibility gives legal rights and duties concerning a child’s upbringing. I assist
clients in:
- Applying for or challenging parental responsibility
- Resolving disputes over major decisions (e.g., education, healthcare, religion)
- Relocation disputes—both within the UK and internationally
If you or your co-parent wishes to relocate with your child, either domestically or abroad, I
provide representation in leave-to-remove applications or objections to relocation,
ensuring that the child’s best interests remain the focus of the court’s decision.
Grandparents’ Rights & Special Guardianship
Grandparents and extended family members play a crucial role in a child’s life but may
need legal intervention to maintain contact or secure their caregiving role. I provide expert
legal support in:
- Applying for child arrangement orders to maintain contact with grandchildren
- Seeking Special Guardianship Orders (SGOs) when a parent is unable to care
for a child
I work with families to find practical legal solutions that ensure children remain
connected with their loved ones, while prioritizing their emotional and developmental
needs.
If you need specialist legal advice on children law matters, I am here to help. As an
experienced family law barrister, I provide clear guidance and strong representation to
ensure the best possible outcome for you and your child.
