Contact Issues in Public & Private Children Law Cases - Live at Your Desk

Introduction

Practitioners working in Children proceedings will often come across issues surrounding contact/family.

This will be of significance in both private and public children law cases.

A lot of time can be spent both in correspondence and also at court, in both negotiating and also making legal argument over contact/family time. This could involve negotiations and legal argument over the duration, length of and frequency of contact/family time.
