Family-related legal matters can be extremely stressful, painful, and difficult. As you go through the process of separation or any aspects of family law, it's essential that you understand the law to protect your best interests. Emotions run high when families break down. Depending on how things are handled, there can be long-term, negative consequences for those involved.
The key to minimizing the emotional stress and coming up with the best possible outcome for all involved? Getting expert legal advice and sensitive, fair-minded handling of the situation.

Child Protection
Child protection social workers get involved with a family to investigate allegations about the safety of a child and to develop solutions with the family since it is assumed that the best place for a child is with their family. If the current caregiver eg parent of the child cannot protect the child from a risk then the social worker will look for another family member to be the caregiver temporarily, until the risks can be reduced with the help of the Ministry eg counseling, treatment, and courses. Experienced assistance from our firm can help make this process less stressful while helping you understand and navigate the complicated Ministry legal system.
