Child Law

Disputes concerning children – whether that be between parents and a local authority or private law proceedings between family members - are amongst the most emotive and require a sensitive approach.

We have a team of experienced solicitors well versed in running these cases.  Rebecca Cole of this firm is a member of the Law Society Children’s Panel in recognition of her specialist knowledge in this area of law.

We can assist with:-

• Acting for parents or children in disputes with a local authority concerning for example care proceedings.
• Acting for parents or other family members such as grandparents or step-parents in private proceedings – for example concerning a Child Arrangements Order.

Where available we can apply for legal aid on your behalf:

• Legal aid is available for proceedings between parents and family members on a much more limited basis.
• The Applicant must evidence that they are the victim of domestic violence and be of limited financial means.
