  • Advising a mother in respect of an urgent Non-Molestation Order and a Lives with Order for the children to reside in her primary care and control. Resulted in the father conceding midway through proceedings and protective orders being made in the mother’s favour.
  • Advising a mother in a child private matter which proceeded to a final hearing where there were ongoing concerns in respect of the father’s alcohol intake and mental health. Final order made for contact between the father and the child to take place subject to it being safe.
  • Assisting in a child abduction matter concerning a child being removed from Ireland and taken to the United Kingdom by the father. We secured the child’s return to Ireland where they were reunited with the mother.
