Children - Private Law Proceedings
Deans Court Chambers family team offers expertise in difficult private law proceedings involving disputes about residence and contact. Our focus is on achieving the best outcome for the children concerned, securing their safety and wellbeing, whilst dealing sensitively with the difficult issues involved.
We regularly deal with cases involving parents who pose a risk of physical, sexual or emotional harm to their children where a finding of fact hearing may be necessary.

We often appear in cases involving the international movement of children (application for removal from the jurisdiction; Hague Convention and child abduction cases).
