Abusive mother allowed to keep children

In what appears to be a very unusual case a Family Court has ordered that the children of an abusive Mother are to remain living with her and the Father is not permitted to spend any time with them at all.

The Mother had made the children so distressed at seeing their father that Justice Austin decided that they should not have to see him.

Evidence was presented that showed that the Father had warm loving relationships with the children in the past. This relationship however was undermined by the mother who instilled in the children a fear of the father.

Fixed Fees

Lawyers’ fees are a big worry for people needing legal services. This is because they are often charged on a time basis with no one being able to say how much time will be taken.

help you to budget for legal fees;
help you to realistically assess costs versus benefits of each step along the way;
reassure you of our commitment to progress your matter as efficiently and effectively as possible as fees are not taken until work is completed;
