Disputes Involving Children

When parents or other relatives cannot agree arrangements in respect of children that they care for or with whom they wish to see, there is often a need for urgent legal advice and support.

The Family Team at Fosters aims to deliver child-focused solutions to the following types of child related issues:

  • Residence – where a child should live
  • Contact – where, when and how a child should see the non-resident parent and/or other family members
  • Removal of a child from a resident parent, grandparent or other carer
  • Failure to return a child to a resident parent, grandparent or other carer
  • Child abduction
  • Acquiring Parental Responsibility
  • Any other specific issue or difficulty relating to a child

If a dispute cannot be settled through negotiation or mediation, then our specialist lawyers will represent you in an application to the Court to resolve the matter.
