Disputes can arise when parents or grandparents cannot agree to matters between them and may require the court to make a decision. There may also be occasions when an emergency application to the court is required to prevent something happening that may have an impact on your child. At Clark Willis, we always encourage people to consider alternate ways of resolving disputes and our team includes specialist collaborative lawyers experienced in negotiating amicable settlements outside of the court arena. 

In a limited number of matters, including applications to remove a child by the local authority, legal aid may be available to you and in all other matters, we can clearly explain to you the potential costs and funding options.
