Child abduction
This situation can arise as a result of family breakdown where one parent has family outside England and Wales and returns to that family with their children without the consent of either the other parent or the Court.
At Osbornes, Mark Freedman and Kirsty Glover specialise in this area of law, representing parents whose children have been removed without consent or parents who have removed their children from the jurisdiction.
If parents believe there is an imminent risk of abduction there are emergency steps that can be taken to prevent the removal and protect the child. Urgent legal advice should be sought immediately. Public Funding is usually available.
