Children's rights

Children's rights are a key area of Norwegian and international law, and it is essential that the best interests of the child are always the focus. As a law firm, we have extensive experience in assisting children and parents in cases concerning children's rights, whether it be parental disputes, visitation rights, child welfare or other issues related to the situation of children. We have in-depth knowledge of both the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Norwegian legislation, and we always work to ensure that the child's voice is heard and taken into account in all processes.

Children have the right to protection, care, and participation. This means, among other things, that children have the right to be heard in matters that concern them, and that their opinions should be given weight in accordance with their age and maturity. We assist in cases where the child's right to be heard has not been adequately safeguarded, and we help parents and guardians understand and safeguard the child's rights in dealings with public authorities and courts. Our experience also includes cases where there is a need to protect children from neglect or abuse, and we have the expertise to handle complex child welfare cases.

We know that cases involving children are often emotionally demanding and can be overwhelming for both children and adults. Our approach is characterized by respect, understanding, and professional thoroughness. We emphasize providing clear information and guidance throughout the process so that both children and parents feel secure. If you have questions about children's rights or need legal assistance in a specific case, please feel free to contact us for a no-obligation consultation. We are here to ensure that children's rights are protected in the best possible way.
