Legal advice of the highest quality, at life’s lowest moments

Domestic abuse is any abuse that happens in a family or personal relationship, where one person bullies, threatens, hurts or controls the other. Domestic abuse affects both men and women and can be harmful to children.

When parents (married, unmarried or same sex) separate, consideration needs to be given to the arrangements for any children such as where and with whom they are going to live, whether they need to change school and how often they will see the other parent. These arrangements should be agreed between the parents wherever possible.

Child abduction is a serious, but sometimes misunderstood, area of family law. Most people think it involves a stranger kidnapping a child. However, a mother taking her own child abroad for a short period of time and without the consent of the father, may actually be guilty of child abduction in the eyes of the family court.

Before taking this action the Local Authority will try where possible to keep children with their parents (or those with parental responsibility). We are Children Panel Accredited lawyers, we offer representation to pregnant mothers, parents, grandparents and children.

The process of becoming an adoptive parent is particularly complex. We will advise and guide you through this process. By adopting a child you will be granted all the legal rights, duties and responsibilities a parent has in relation to their child, as though you were their parent from birth.
