Chan Neill Solicitors LLP acted for a parent in a contested international relocation application involving a young child.

The case required the court to balance long-term stability with preserving the child’s meaningful relationship with the parent remaining in the UK, alongside wider cross-border considerations.

Following a contested final hearing, the court granted permission for the child to relocate permanently overseas, with arrangements in place to maintain ongoing contact.

Protecting yourself and your home: What are your legal options?

If you are experiencing domestic abuse or conflict, the law provides important protection. Non-molestation orders and occupation orders are designed to safeguard your safety and regulate living arrangements where needed.

While each serves a different purpose, they are often used together to provide both personal protection and a stable home environment.

Understanding your options early can help you take the right steps.

How are finances decided after a divorce?

A divorce does not automatically resolve financial matters. If an agreement cannot be reached, the court follows a structured process to decide how assets, income and liabilities should be divided.

From financial disclosure to settlement discussions, understanding the process early can make a significant difference. Most cases are resolved before reaching a final hearing.

The pre action stage is often overlooked, but it can influence costs, strategy, and even whether a dispute needs to go to court at all.
