Advice to parents, grandparents, and other relatives
Our family team provides expert guidance to parents, grandparents, and other relatives who wish to maintain contact with a child or have concerns about a child’s welfare.
Issues often arise following the breakdown of family relationships, such as one parent preventing a child from seeing their father, mother, or grandparents. Disagreements may also occur regarding a child’s schooling, religious upbringing, or medical care.
The law prioritises the welfare and best interests of the child. Regardless of any conflict between adults, what matters most is ensuring outcomes that benefit the child. Our advice is always guided by this principle.
Supporting strong family links
We recognise the importance of maintaining family links and believe that the best arrangements are those made willingly between the adults involved, rather than imposed by the courts. Our team works to help clients explore all options, encouraging them to ensure that their ex-partner receives sound, independent legal advice. With both parties fully informed, we aim to facilitate agreements that everyone can commit to and uphold.
Collaborative solutions for family relationships
Our team has strong connections with mediators, counsellors, and other professionals who can assist in resolving disputes amicably, without the need for costly court proceedings. We understand that protecting family links is essential for fostering healthy, ongoing relationships for the benefit of the child.
While court proceedings are always considered a last resort, when necessary, our specialist lawyers provide practical and honest advice and will robustly protect your interests.
