McAlister Family Law is home to one of the top Children’s Law teams in the country. We believe that the voice of a child is the most important consideration in any dispute and should always be heard. We represent not only parents, grandparents, step-parents and carers but the children themselves.

We work with parents, professionals and third-party experts in protecting children’s interests at all times. We help navigate complex issues such as domestic abuse, alcohol and drug addiction, parental alienation, emotional harm and implacable hostility.
