Protecting Your Parental Rights
All too often parents who are divorced or separated cannot agree on what is considered fair contact with their child, or the primary residence of the child. If, however, your ex-partner has removed or threatened to remove your child without proper consent, you have legal rights to protect your parental rights.
At Mackesys Solicitors, we specialise in helping clients through various family law crises, including child abduction. If you believe there is a risk that your child will be taken by an ex-partner or relative without your consent, we can act quickly to obtain court orders to prevent the removal. If your child is already gone, we will liaise with police and other agencies for the swift return of your child.
We can act on an emergency basis and have systems in place so as to be in court the same day if necessary. We understand the trauma and distress of child abduction and aim to offer empathetic, practical and immediate action to reunite children with their parents.
Taking Proactive Steps to Prevent Child Abduction
Sometimes parents attempt to use removal as a way to gain leverage in a contact dispute or residence dispute following a breakup. In other situations, one parent simply fails to properly communicate his or her intentions to the other. In either case, however, unlawful removal is a serious offence that can have serious consequences.
Our UK child abduction solicitors work with all parties involved to resolve such disputes quickly and in such a way as to protect the welfare of the child. Whether you want to relocate permanently or you want to oppose your ex-partner from doing so, we can advise and represent you. We will clearly explain your available options and guide you through the process.
