- The Situation: After separating, the mother left the family home and the children remained with their father. While both parents agreed the children should live with him, they needed legal clarity on holidays and shared responsibilities. - Our Approach: We negotiated a mutual agreement on key arrangements and submitted a Child Arrangements Order application to court. We represented the father from start to finish. - The Outcome: The court granted a Final Child Arrangements Order confirming the children live with the father. The family now has stability and a legally binding agreement.

- The Situation: Our client received an on-notice application for a Non-Molestation Order, based on vague and unsupported claims. He denied the allegations and was worried about his reputation. - Our Approach: We argued in court that the threshold for making the order was not met. The court agreed. We then negotiated cross undertakings to resolve the matter amicably. - The Outcome: No order was made. The case was resolved without admissions or findings, protecting our client’s name and avoiding further legal proceedings.

- The Situation: The mother relocated with the children to another city without informing the father, cutting off contact. He didn’t know where they were or how to reach them. - Our Approach: We issued an urgent Prohibited Steps Order and used a tracing agent (with court approval) to locate them. The mother was served and ordered to attend court. She made serious allegations, leading to a fact-finding hearing, where we successfully defended our client. - The Outcome: No findings were made against the father. CAFCASS supported contact, and a Child Arrangements Order was granted. The father now enjoys regular time with his children.

- The Situation: During divorce proceedings, our client discovered her husband was secretly trying to sell a jointly-owned property. - Our Approach: We immediately lodged a Home Rights Notice and applied to court to stop the sale. The court agreed, blocking any transaction. We pushed for full financial disclosure and negotiated a fair settlement. - The Outcome: The attempted sale was stopped. Our client received a favourable financial settlement, with her financial future protected.

- The Situation: Our client hadn’t seen his children for over a year after the other parent made allegations and stopped contact. - Our Approach: We issued a Child Arrangements Order application. The court listed a fact-finding hearing. We guided our client throughout, presenting strong evidence. The court made no findings, and CAFCASS supported contact. - The Outcome: A structured Child Arrangements Order was made. Our client now sees his children regularly and safely, with a court-approved plan in place.

- The Situation: Our client was deeply concerned for her son’s safety due to the father's history of domestic abuse, drug use, and alcohol misuse. She ceased contact after several incidents and sought legal advice, believing that ongoing contact posed a serious risk. - Our Approach: We supported our client in applying for a Child Arrangements Order while ensuring protective measures were in place. We helped her prepare for a fact-finding hearing, compiling detailed evidence of abuse and substance misuse. She was guided through the process with sensitivity and clarity. The court heard the evidence and made clear findings against the father, acknowledging the risks involved. - The Outcome: The court implemented robust safeguarding measures, restricting contact to what was deemed safe and in the child’s best interests. Our client’s concerns were validated, and her son is now protected under a court-approved plan that prioritises his wellbeing and safety.
