Court Orders for Children

Judge can rule on matters such as parental responsibility (the legal rights to be the parent and have responsibility), child arrangements, residence, contact (used to be custody, access), specific issues such as living abroad or being circumcised, or prohibitive steps such as not removing a child from school, or in relation to medical treatment.

There can be orders on change of name and finances. The remedies are flexible and modern, although the Courts are swamped with cases.

Judges often throw up their hands in despair at the court “back office” being such a shamble.

It is hard to get through on the phone, letters go unanswered and very often the solution is to see the District Judge of the day, that is turn up in Court and be prepared to wait. This can be done with a lawyer advising on the phone (charge your mobile) to move a case along.

Take expert legal advice on how this can be achieved.
