    This work covers private disputes about who a child lives with and sees and public law proceedings brought by local authorities, including care proceedings, placement and adoption applications, special guardianship and enforcement of contact. Solicitors draft section 8 child arrangements and specific issue applications, prepare statements and witness evidence, assemble social‑work bundles, engage with Cafcass and social services, negotiate without or attend pre‑proceedings (PLO) meetings, apply for emergency protection and represent clients in the family court and, for complex cases, in the High Court under wardship or inherent jurisdiction. The Children Act 1989 welfare checklist shapes most decisions.

    “I highly recommend Jelena Korobkova for her exceptional legal expertise and compassionate approach during my recent consultation regarding a cohabitation dispute involving my children and ex-partner. She provided clear, practical advice, demonstrating a deep understanding of family law while taking the time to listen to my concerns and explaining my options in a way that was easy to understand. I felt supported throughout the process, and her professionalism and dedication gave me confidence in handling the complexities of my situation. I would not hesitate to seek her guidance again or to recommend her to others in need of family law assistance.”
