Protection of minors
Protection of children and adolescents: legal defense in vulnerable situations
In situations of risk or neglect, minors need effective and specialized legal protection. At Carmen Varela, Abogados de Familia, we intervene in administrative proceedings initiated by the Public Administration, defending the rights of minors and the families involved.
We also offer direct legal advice to minors, independently of their parents, when necessary to ensure their voice and protection in the event of potential conflict, lack of protection, or violation of rights. Our goal is to ensure that the child’s best interests prevail at all times, both in administrative proceedings and in access to justice.
Our approach: real legal protection, focused on the child
At Carmen Varela, Abogados de Familia, we approach child and adolescent protection cases with a comprehensive approach, where the child’s or adolescent’s well-being and safety are the absolute priority. We act with sensitivity, but also with determination, in situations involving risk, neglect, or family conflict.
We are involved both in administrative proceedings initiated by the Administration and in the direct defense of minors when they need to be heard or represented independently. Our work is based on active listening, respect for the minor’s wishes (depending on their age and maturity), and firm legal action, always aimed at guaranteeing their rights and protecting their future.
