Our work
Whether because of parental separation or otherwise, disputes over children can arise at any time during childhood.
At MSB, our experts in children law can support and represent parents, stepparents, grandparents and wider family members with children disputes, including child custody and child protection, helping to minimise any potential negative impact on you and your family.
We can assist with issues such as:

- Obtaining an order declaring that you are a legal parent of the child and secure parental responsibility
- Securing an order that your children live with you/spend regular time with you
- Prohibiting/restricting someone that poses a risk to your child spending time with them
- Acting swiftly in emergency situations to prevent removal of children from a parent’s care by applying for prohibited steps orders
- Making applications to allow you to move abroad with a child
- Making applications to prevent your child leaving the country temporarily or permanently with their other parent. Find out how our team can help you with matters concerning child abduction
- Making applications for non-parental carers for special guardianship or adoption
