My case is due in court soon: will it be heard?

Scottish courts are only hearing urgent child protection cases at the moment, so almost all family court hearings are paused (sisted) or postponed (continued). In each part of Scotland all cases have been moved to a few key courts – details here.

With your help we can continue to provide support and encouragement to separating parents across Scotland.
