Child Abduction

Although it is a rare occurrence, following a relationship breakdown, children are sometimes taken away without permission by the parent who does not have a residence order and, in some instances, this can involve the child being taken abroad.

 
If this happens to you, our team of experienced children experts can help, by working with the police and the Child Abduction Unit within the Ministry of Justice to try and stop the abductor from leaving the country and to secure the safe return of your child as soon as possible.

 
The most important thing in such circumstances is to contact us as soon as possible – the earlier we can intervene, the better the chances of success in re-uniting you with your child.

 
We can also help you get funding under the legal aid scheme, if you are eligible.
