Child Abduction

Child Abduction: Direct Access Barristers

If one parent removes a child or children without the consent of the other, this is known as child abduction. This removal can be within the same jurisdiction or in another country.

Barristers First can offer expert direct access to child abduction barristers who can advise, assist, and represent you throughout this process.

Often, direct access barristers are needed to act urgently on child abduction matters, given the fact that a child can be removed easily.
