Child custody

Adams has extensive experience advising on this area, including residence, formal “custody” and contact, which was formerly known as “access”. We can help with Court applications for both residence and contact, and other types of order. It is essential that parents and other relatives seek trustworthy practical advice early on. This helps to reduce the likelihood of Court proceedings, which in turn can reduce financial costs and minimize emotional trauma. However, if Court proceedings cannot be avoided, Adams will be with you every step of the way.

Parental responsibility
One of the most common inquiries received by Adams relates to Parental responsibility, and fathers’ rights. Many parents believe that they have automatic equal rights in respect of their children. However, this is not necessarily the case.

“Adams can help with all areas falling under child custody, including preparing agreements or applying for Court orders.”
