Name: Russell Cooke

Description: The problems that can arise in family relationships demand sensitivity and discretion from a lawyer, as well as practical effectiveness. We put great stress on addressing the individual needs of each client, recognising the personal and often delicate nature of the issues involved.

We deal with all aspects of family law, including:
:: divorce and separation
:: pre-nuptial agreements and financial settlements
:: living together
:: children proceedings: contact and residence

The law relating to children is very specialised and constantly developing and changing. Russell-Cooke is unusual in having three very experienced solicitors who work exclusively in this area of the law.

The department advises and acts for children (through their court-appointed Children's Guardian), and for parents and for other relatives in a wide range of proceedings relating to the care and welfare of children including:
:: care proceedings, where Local Authoritiy Social Services Departments are applying for orders enabling them to remove children from their parents' care
:: applications for discharge of care orders
:: proceedings concerning the residence of children with one or other parent or with other relatives
:: issues of contact between children and their parent(s) and between children and other adults significant to the child
:: adoption and fostering of children
