Darren Howe KC to speak at Corbett Le Quesne Jersey Children Law Conference - Mar 2024
Children (Private Law)
Darren specialises in representing parents and children in cases involving proven or alleged parental alienation. He is extremely familiar with how such cases should be managed by the court, given the unusual features of these cases that require the court to think ‘out of the box’ to achieve the best result of the child.
Darren is instructed in international child abduction cases, high conflict residence cases, internal and international relocation cases and applications for parental orders.
