Our family department is based in our High Wycombe office and has a reputation for excellence. Every client has a specialist solicitor dedicated to their case and we offer a free initial meeting to all new clients.

Our approach to costs is open and frank. Our charges are calculated on the basis of the time we spend working on your matter. The hourly rates for the different levels of experience of our team members are competitive. Family problems and relationship breakdown can be stressful enough without the additional worry of meeting legal fees and we are often able to agree litigation funding arrangements to suit your particular needs and circumstances. 

We can often help a parent or family member bring one or more of the following types of application:  

• Residence orders
• Contact orders
• Specific issue orders
• Prohibited steps orders
• Parental responsibility orders

The Court places the welfare of the child as its paramount concern when dealing with any matters concerning children and will decide whether to make any of the above orders by reference to what is known as the  welfare checklist. 

Wherever possible a negotiated agreement should be reached and we can assist you in this regard.  The effect of court proceedings on the parties and on the children should never be underestimated.

Our solicitors are also experts in the field of international child abduction.  The starting principle is that a child should be returned to his or her home country, unless special circumstances apply.  The extent to which the Court will conduct a detailed analysis into the welfare of the child depends from which country the child has been removed, and so which law applies, however it is only in rare circumstances that a return is not ordered.
