  • Standard scope: one situation, one legal objective and up to 25 pages of agreed documents.
  • The stage includes questionnaire and document review, legal classification, three next actions, a missing-document list, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
  • Where the next stage can be defined, its fixed fee is provided before work begins.
  • More than 25 pages, additional objectives, urgent work or foreign-language documents are priced before work begins as a separate or extended stage.
  • Court fees, notaries, translation, valuation, experts, registration and other third-party costs are excluded and agreed separately.

What may change the route

  • objections or new claims from another party
  • missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
  • the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
  • existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
  • the child’s views are considered where required

When this service is not suitable

  • immediate danger or international removal requires urgent specialist action

How we report progress

  • we agree the communication channel before work begins
  • we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
  • where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval
