This work covers urgent cross‑border removal or retention of a child under the Hague Convention, where actions are pursued in English courts to secure return, access, or protective orders. A solicitor helps with the initial assessment, collects and inventories evidence, applies to the family courts (often the High Court or Family Court) for orders, negotiates with the other parent, and coordinates with the UK Central Authority and any relevant public bodies. Proceedings are time sensitive and involve international cooperation.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key instrument is the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, plus domestic rules in the Family Procedure Rules. A solicitor defends or advances orders to secure prompt return or access, manages evidence highlighting risk or stability, and navigates international liaison. Crucial steps include filing petitions, arranging urgent hearings, and safeguarding the child's future arrangements while addressing potential appeals or related welfare considerations.

Tagged solicitor Angela Killa

I can't recommend JCP Solicitors enough. Angela Killa, my solicitor, was warm and supportive throughout whilst also ensuring that her advice was impartial and factual. I was completely supported in my choices and wishes, and legalities and appropriate approaches were clearly flagged to me. I had full confidence in Angela's professional abilities, which were outstanding. I was guided through each step clearly and supportively, and felt confident that my outcome would be in the best interests of my child, which was at the heart of everything Angela did. Thank you Angela, and thank you JCP, for all you did for us. I am completely satisfied with the work completed for us and feel that it was excellent value, given its importance.
