Anglo-French Children Lawyers

Vardags is a top London-based family law firm serving high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals based in France but having links to England and Wales. We have an expert team of fluent French-speaking lawyers including our Head of Children, Caroline Korah.

Anglo French child law involves navigating family disputes with cross-border implications, particularly concerning parental responsibility, relocation and financial support. When parents separate or divorce, and one wishes to move to France with the child, consent from the other parent must be obtained from the other parent or from the court. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is applicable between France and England, which can be triggered if a child is relocated without proper court permission or consent.

We have a specialist international child law practice where the best interests of children are at the heart of our decision-making process. Recognised as leaders in international family law, our clients benefit from our specialist knowledge and global contacts. Our children lawyers are highly regarded, being described as “at the very top end of the private children law team in London” (Legal 500).

Our expertise covers a wide range of areas, including:

• Child relocation
• Child abduction
• Child protection
• Child contact
• Child finances
• Matters pertaining to parental responsibility
• Assisted reproduction
• Safeguarding issues and allegations of harm
• Allegations of parental alienation
• International families

We have assisted numerous French clients, both within the United Kingdom and internationally. Our extensive network affords us the capability to provide expert cross-jurisdictional advice on family law matters in France and other French-speaking countries, including Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Monaco.

Our dedication to ensuring the welfare of children is evident in every case we handle, providing our clients with the highest level of legal support and guidance. If you need our help, don’t delay. Contact Vardags today.
