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.

Our experienced and empathetic Family Law team are available to provide expert and confidential support when you need it.

  • Child abduction;
  • Acquiring parental responsibility;
  • Any other specific issue or difficulty relating to a child.
