Children

We never lose sight of what matters most, your children’s wellbeing.

At BCR, our experienced family team supports parents, carers, and relatives, through a wide range of sensitive legal issues, including adoption, specific issues and prohibited steps orders, contact and residence disputes, and relocation applications.

Our Expertise

Disputes involving children are often urgent, emotional, and deeply personal. Our team of experts are specialists in navigating sensitive family issues with care and clarity. We offer a tailored and responsive approach to each case and will listen, support, and guide you with empathy and understanding. Parents also have the reassurance that if you are unable to agree matters and need to attend court, we have experienced court advocates on your side to represent you.


Our Approach

A child’s best interests is the paramount consideration when making decisions relating to that child. The advice given by our experienced team always keeps this principle firmly in mind.

Our team carefully listen to your concerns and views, and provide objective, clear, and compassionate, advice in relation to the following:-

  • Negotiating fair and sensible contact arrangements.
  • Formalising contact agreements into binding consent orders.
  • Reinstating contact where it has been unreasonably withheld.
  • Varying existing contact orders following a change in circumstances.
  • Addressing safeguarding concerns.
  • Seeking or opposing leave to remove a child from the jurisdiction.
  • Seeking urgent non-removal injunctions in cases of potential unlawful removal of a child.
  • Obtaining parental responsibility.
  • Applying for residence, specific issues and/ or prohibited orders.

Our Values in Action

Excellence: Resolve sensitive family matters with clarity, care, and the highest standards of legal expertise.

Delivery: Provide timely, strategic, support that reduces conflict, cost, and delays for families.

Respect: Listen with empathy, value every perspective, and prioritise the wellbeing of all involved.

Elegance: Act with discretion and professionalism, guiding families through complex issues, with calmness, sensitivity, and authority.

Why BCR Law

We understand how emotional and urgent these matters can be and are here to support you every step of the way. With trusted objective legal advice, strategic support, and your child’s best interests at heart, we can help you secure a stable and positive future.
