We are regularly instructed in cases involving disputes over child arrangements – where a child lives and with whom (s)he spends time – including where a parent seeks to relocate with the child within this jurisdiction and abroad. We can also assist in applications for Specific Issue Orders regarding a child’s name, choice of school and medical treatment, and in the discrete areas of private law adoption, forced marriage, surrogacy, fertility and LGBTQ+ parenting. We have particular experience acting in cases where there are allegations of significant harm and where a local authority has become involved.
Our experience in public law cases makes us particularly well suited to representing children, whether through the appointment of a Guardian or children bringing an application themselves.
