Our specialist Adoption Lawyers and Child Care solicitors can advise on matters involving adoption, child custody, care orders and child protection.
We are also experienced in all types of adoption cases, and can help you:-
- If you are applying to adopt a child, or
- If you are objecting to someone trying to adopt your child
- If you are trying to adopt a child from a foreign country
We can attend Child Protection Conferences on your behalf and help discuss your situation with Social Workers.
We can represent you in Court cases if a local authority applies for an Emergency Protection Order, a Care Order or in applications for contact with children in care or to discharge a Care Order.
We also act for children who are taken into Social Services care and advise Children's Guardians in Public Law proceedings.
In many children's cases, you are entitled to free help and representation under the Legal Aid scheme. For other types of child care cases you may be eligible for Legal Aid.
In all children's cases, the Courts will treat the child’s welfare as paramount - so the wishes and feelings of parents are secondary.
Please contact us to discuss how we can help you.
