Our highly regarded children’s team deals with parental and family disputes concerning children for wealthy and high-profile individuals.

The children’s team assists parents to resolve private law disputes in relation to their children, to include:

• Arrangements for who children should live with following separation and how much time they should spend with the other parent;
• Disagreements in relation to holidays, schooling, medical matters, religion;
• Applications for permission to relocate (either within the UK or abroad; and
• Abduction.

Our team of specialist lawyers have extensive experience dealing with complex issues affecting children and families, to include domestic abuse, parental and child mental health issues and regularly assist and advise clients to navigate the resulting involvement in the family from police or child protection services.

Working with an extensive network of specialist children lawyers around the world, the team are also uniquely placed to advise international families seeking to resolve arrangements for children over multiple jurisdictions.

With the increasing pressure on the family court system, which often leads to delay in the resolution of disputes, our specialist lawyers will consider alternative dispute resolution options with clients, to include mediation, legally assisted round table meetings and arbitration, which can offer fast and focused routes to resolution of children disputes, supported by specialist knowledge and experience and free from the delays and stress of court proceedings.
