Legal 500 UK, The Clients Guide to Law Firms
FRENCH VERSION / VERSION FRANÇAISE
If there is a dispute about the children when a relationship breaks down, whether or not the parents are married, the child’s country of residence at the time proceedings are issued will in most cases be the place where the proceedings must occur.
In cases where there are English elements to the situation, we advise clients on a successful strategy for negotiation or before the English court. In situations where the children are French resident, we can refer you to a leading French family lawyer so that any French proceedings can be handled effectively for you.
We are frequently instructed in child relocation disputes. We give early strategic advice on the right steps to maximise your chances of successfully bringing or defending an application to relocate children.
