Children Disputes


Your children are vulnerable to the impact of divorce and separation and sadly can often be caught in the middle of their parents’ disputes. 

Our advice is sensitive, pragmatic and sensible, enabling you to achieve child-focused, practical and workable solutions.

We advise on all separation and/or divorce issues involving your children, including applications for Parental Responsibility Orders, Specific Issue Orders, Prohibited Steps Orders and Child Arrangement Orders. 

We also bring and defend applications for permission to take your children to live permanently in another country or relocate within England and Wales. 

Relationship breakdown can have a devastating impact on the wider family - we also act for grandparents wishing to spend time with their grandchildren.

Our experience includes advising on:

  • The Children’s main home and living arrangements

  • The time to be spent with each parent

  • Issues surrounding religious upbringing

  • Issues relating to proposed medical treatment 

  • Issues in relation to education

We aim to resolve these issues through negotiation. If impossible, we recommend non-Court dispute resolution processes, such as mediation and arbitration. Or in some cases it may be necessary to take Court proceedings, including making emergency applications to protect your children.
