Child Protection

I represent the child in disputes and emergencies. I document abuse, obtain restraining orders, adjust residence and contact to secure safety.

I act fast and carefully. I assess risk, document events and involve child services and police. I obtain a protection order, seek interim measures and change contact or residence when safety requires it. Clear guidance and strict timelines.

  • Assess risks and prepare a rapid action plan
  • Work with child services and police
  • Obtain a restraining order and interim relief
  • File claims on residence, contact and support
Safety and stability first. Confidential handling and clear steps.
