Christine Caffrey

EXPERTISE

My practice comprises all areas of family law.

I am regularly instructed in all aspects of Children Law, in particular in relation to parental disputes about arrangements for children and situations where there are child welfare concerns. I have experience in dealing with private law children matters involving the Local Authority where issues of child protection and child welfare arise. I also deal with specific disputes arising between parents in relation to issues such as parental responsibility, education, healthcare, schooling and holidays.

As a family law solicitor, I act for parents in international and domestic relocation applications and I recognise the importance of seeking early advice, whether you are the parent intending to relocate or the parent opposing a relocation.

I represent vulnerable parties seeking protective injunctions. I provide reassurance and guidance through the court process with a view to securing the protection they need. I also act for those opposing the making of these orders.
