Guardianship Law

Child Custody & Guardianship

At Juris & Nova Chambers, our Guardianship Law practice focuses on legal matters concerning the care, protection, custody, and welfare of minors and persons requiring legal guardianship. We assist parents, relatives, and other concerned persons in matters relating to appointment and declaration of guardians, custody and access arrangements, and disputes concerning the care and welfare of children.

Within this practice, our work on child custody & guardianship covers Guardianship of Minor Children, Natural Guardian Disputes, Testamentary Guardian Appointments and Guardianship Certificate Applications.

Our approach is centred on understanding the circumstances of each family and providing clear, practical legal guidance. We assist clients in preparing and pursuing appropriate applications and proceedings before the competent courts and authorities. Where guardianship issues arise alongside matrimonial, custody, inheritance, or property matters, we consider the broader legal circumstances to provide appropriate representation.
