children

Perhaps more so than any other legal matter, issues involving children need to be dealt with calmly, sensibly and at all times with an understanding of the enormous emotional and personal feelings which can be involved.

Julie Barr is a lawyer who specialises in the law as it relates to children .She acts extensively for parents and grandparents in connection with residence (the old "Custody") and contact ("Access") cases. Her work covers many areas of the law in relation to children including care proceedings involving local authorities.

Our work involves not only dealing with the other lawyers involved, but also liaising with social workers, care and other agencies.

Children issues arise both as part of a separation or divorce and separately. The law is different depending on whether the parents are married. We can help you in at least the following areas:

Residence orders
Contact orders
Care orders involving Local Authorities
Maintenance
The Child Support Agency (or its successor)
Parental Responsibility Orders (for unmarried fathers)

We will always discuss with you the likely cost involved and the availability of Public Funding (Legal Aid). Family troubles can often be trying and stressful. We are here to help you.
