Family Law – Children Matters

John approached Hibberts for legal advice and support regarding a sensitive matter involving contact with their child and challenges posed by their ex-partner. The ex-partner had attempted to restrict John’s time with the child, including efforts to relocate the child to a different area and, at times, preventing any contact altogether.
Family Law Specialist, Donna Riley, guided John through a structured approach—first encouraging resolution through negotiation, then mediation, and, when necessary, through the Court. Shortly after court proceedings began, John was able to resume contact with their daughter, restoring the previously agreed timetable. At the First Hearing, this arrangement was formalised into an enforceable Court Order, establishing a Shared Care provision for the child.
Throughout the process, Donna Riley handled the case with exceptional care, empathy, and professionalism, always prioritising the client’s objectives. Donna Riley remained readily available to address concerns and provide reassurance as the matter progressed.
