Adoption

We can provide advice, guidance and representation if you are either proceeding with an adoption or contesting an adoption. The law governing this area is extensive and there are a number of tests and considerations that need to be met and judicially determined upon by the Court.

Given the huge ramifications of an adoption being granted and the direct impact this has on the cessation of family life then it is imperative that you are properly represented from the start to the conclusion of proceedings.

Permanence Order

It is often the case that the local authority informs you of their plan to proceed with permanency planning. This would be on the basis that they do not deem rehabilitation of your child to your care to be an option. At this point you need to
speak to us.

The local authority can raise proceedings to remove your parental rights and responsibilities in respect of your child. We can oppose this for you and represent your interests throughout the case.
