We can help you whether you are a parent, a grandparent or another relative of a child if there is a dispute about where the child should live or whom the child should see. These issues may arise because parents are separating, or at almost any other time. Click here for more about our approach.

We can advise you about related matters such as parental responsibility, and specific issues like adoption, consent to medical treatment, changing a child's name and protection of children if they are risk for any reason from a parent.

We can also act for you or for a child when social services have become involved and care proceedings are being considered or have already begun. Click here for more about social services and care proceedings.

In all this we adopt a practical and constructive approach. We recognise that every child is important, and we try to ensure that anyone we act for is represented to the best of our ability and that our client's case gets a fair hearing, with his or her views and interests taken as fully as possible into account.
