Care Proceedings

Straight forward and stress free

Sometimes when there is a crisis in a family the Local Authority step in to protect the children. If this happens to you we can help.

We have a great deal of experience in this type of work and provide sound sensible advice and assistance to try and avoid Court proceedings with a view to keeping your family together.

Legal Aid is always available to any parent where the Local Authority applies to Court for an Order that affects the parents legal rights in relation to their children. This can be an enormously stressful and disruptive time for you. Whatever your relationship to the children, we aim to provide a comprehensive range of representation and assistance, including clear and supportive advice at what we appreciate is an extremely difficult time for you and the children.
