Re L [2024] Tatiana represented the mother in proceedings arising from the father’s application for a child arrangements order. During the contentious private children law proceedings, the mother moved some 400 miles away (without the court’s permission). Tatiana successfully argued against a transfer of residence, after a clear indication from the court that such an order was a possible (and indeed likely) outcome. Despite the father seeking a transfer of residence and, in the alternative, an order for ‘shared care’, the court granted the mother a child arrangements order providing for the child to live with the mother.

Re I [2023] Tatiana represented the father in proceedings arising from his application for a child arrangements order. Despite ongoing criminal proceedings, following allegations of controlling and coercive behaviour, Tatiana secured an order for ‘shared care’ providing for the young child to spend 50% of her time in the father’s care.

Re M [2023] Tatiana represented the mother in proceedings arising from the father’s application for a transfer of residence. The father relied upon the 13-year-old child’s purported wishes and feelings, and the recommendation for the child to live with him. Raising allegations of malign influence having impacted the child’s wishes and feelings, Tatiana persuaded the court that it was in the child’s best interests to continue living with the mother.
