Most of our client’s come to us right at the beginning, before an application has even been made to Court. When that happens, typically we can give a more in-depth assessment of the situation and how best to approach the issues. We also determine whether they have Parental Responsibility and if so we advise them on that and provide guidance on how they should obtain information from their child’s school and doctor. Coming to us early enough, helps get you on the right track immediately as we can assist with mediation, preparing all initial c1, c100 and c1A Applications, drafting supporting particulars, right through the application process up to the first hearing.

In addition to this you may also need a Prohibited Steps Orders. to prevent your children being removed from the area, or abroad, a Non-Molestation Application, to prevent someone contacting you when you feel you are at risk of harm, or an Occupation Order Application to request that your ex-partner vacates your home while matters are determined. All these options are discussed in the initial consultation.
