Care & Protection / Children’s Court

Care and Protection Matters

Care and protection matters involve deciding the safety, welfare, and well-being of children in the Children’s Court. These matters differ from traditional family law cases as instead of a dispute between private parties, the dispute is between not only the parties but also the Department of Communities & Justice (referred to as DCJ and formerly DOCS).

Care and protection cases are often a highly emotional and confronting affair. Our team is highly experienced with such matters and is well-equipped to assist with your case.
