Our specialist family law solicitors can help you make an urgent application in children matters
Although parents are always encouraged to resolve any disputes regarding their children amicably, at Truth Legal we understand that this is not always possible. Sometimes this is due to the acrimonious relationship between the parents and sometimes due to the urgent nature of the dispute.
We can help you in these difficult situations.
There may be occasions when one parent makes threats to remove a child, for example, from school or nursery, or even out of the jurisdiction, which requires urgent legal assistance. Sometimes a child has already been removed from a setting or locality before the other parent realises. There may be incidents when one parent refuses to return a child following the agreed contact arrangements.
In these circumstances, it is possible to make an urgent application to the court to prevent or reverse such an event. A successful application might compel a parent to return the child to the care of the other parent.
The circumstances and reasons for urgency are assessed on a case-by-case basis in order to determine whether there are any grounds for an urgent application.
If there are sufficient compelling reasons to require the urgent assistance from the court, the appropriate application can be made immediately and a hearing can often be listed on the same day, or within the next few days.
In comparison, the timeframe for a hearing deriving from a standard application, for example, in relation to where the child lives or how much time they spend with another parent, is approximately 6 weeks. Urgent applications are by their nature far quicker.
