Our firm has significant experience in dealing with matters where local authorities seek to have children placed permanently in care or adopted. We have experience in these cases both in the Sheriff Court and Court of Session. Such cases can be complex and we recognise that the cases are often very difficult for the families involved. We provide legal and practical advice on these matters ensuring that our clients fully understand the legal process and have a realistic expectation of the possible outcomes. We also have experience in direct petitions for adoption.
Legal aid is available for these types of cases subject to proof of your financial eligibility.
