Parenting and Guardianship

When facing difficult decisions about your children's future, it is important to have a compassionate and skilled legal team supporting you.

Our experienced team is dedicated to advocating in a variety of proceedings, including disputes over care arrangements, relocations (both domestic and international), and guardianship matters (e.g. schooling, medical, international travel, religion and vaccinations).

We can therefore assist with applying for or responding to:

  • Applications for parenting orders on both an urgent and non-urgent basis (also known as without notice / on notice applications).

  • Applications to settle disputes between guardians for matters such as schooling, international travel, relocation (both domestic and international), name changes, religious matters, and medical treatment (including vaccinations).

  • Mediation of parenting and guardianship matters. We can support you during mediation through our consultancy service.

  • Guardianship of the Court (formerly known as wardship) applications.

  • Resist-refuse (previously referred to as parental alienation, alignment and/or enmeshment).
