Child Care

Child care issues require a special sensitivity and specific expertise. Usually working closely with the divorce and separation advisors, Burnetts' child care law team in Carlisle, Cumbria deals with difficult family issues like adoption, contact (previously known as access) and residence (formerly custody).
 
Burnetts Solicitors has also developed a particular specialism in cases of contact, residence and Special Guardianship Orders involving grandparents - the firm is a member of the Grandparents' Association. 

Partner, Simon Mortimer is an accredited specialist with Resolution, formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association. Like other Resolution members, he believes in a non-confrontational approach to family law matters.

Burnetts Solicitors also advises on public law cases involving children in care and cases involving domestic violence.
