T v H [2025] EWHC 1875 (Fam) – reported case – parental abduction
The case considered the correct interpretation of a ‘pending’ request for return and applied the principles of settlement from art. 12 of the 1980 Hague Convention to art. 7(1)(b) of the 1996 Convention. It was successfully argued that England and Wales retained jurisdiction under Article 7 of the Hague Convention 1996 in a case where the mother had repeatedly frustrated the enforcement of a Polish Hague Convention return order.
C v C – Children matter
We represented a father whose severely disabled son (a meningitis survivor with a multimillion-pound trust due to medical negligence) was at risk due to poor care arrangements with the mother. We coordinated with medical teams, trustees, and the local authority to ensure safe, adapted accommodation and support.
ZS v The Estate of NJ [2024] EWHC 306 (Fam) – reported case – declaration of paternity
We act for the daughter of a well-known dissident author who passed away in the UK. She has applied to the High Court for a declaration of paternity. The court granted orders for post-mortem blood samples to be released for DNA testing. Following an initial hearing, the court requested further evidence, which we are currently gathering from witnesses based in Russia.
J v J – Financial, children, and criminal matters
We represent a husband and father in a highly complex case involving financial disputes, child arrangements, and ongoing criminal investigations. Despite a substantial lottery windfall used to purchase the family home and three investment properties, all assets remain in the wife’s sole name. She has evicted our client, leaving him in a vulnerable position. He faces serious allegations, multiple arrests, and struggles with mental health and substance misuse. He currently has no contact with his son, and we are working to reestablish contact while pursuing a fair financial settlement. The case presents significant legal and procedural challenges due to its intertwined civil and criminal elements.
