Our family lawyers care
Disputes over children sadly occur all too frequently and take many and varied forms. There can for example be disputes about contact after the separation of the parents. All too often children are used as an extension of the fight between the parents – it is common for one parent to withdraw contact from the other as part of that ongoing dispute.
At Ashton KCJ our family lawyers are experienced in resolving these situations by encouraging dialogue between the parents. If that fails they will represent clients through the Courts. Our overriding objective is to try and resolve these situations in the best interests of the children who are affected by them.
Each client is unique and over the years we have helped in many ways:
- we have obtained the reinstatement of contact where that contact has been suspended
- we have obtained Orders for the suspension of contact when children are known to be at risk. We have been able to assist in situations where the residence of the child or children has been at issue and we have been very successful in obtaining or changing residence or alternatively the sharing of residence where the circumstances merit
- we have considerable experience in child abduction matters and in obtaining Orders relating to specific issues and prohibited steps that relate to a child’s upbringing.
Family matters matter
These are all private matters within a family. They often reflect disagreements between the parents regarding a child’s lifestyle and upbringing. Of course we are mindful as well of situations in which the parents’ upbringing is not a problem between themselves but where the parents are subject to State intervention over the welfare and upbringing of their children. We assist many parents each year in Cases where the State attempt to seek Orders which directly affect the parenting of their child or children.
We have family solicitors who are on the Family Law Panel, and also Children Panel – and therefore understand how they work.
