Would anyone know how much an injunction would cost?
Under the Children Act you can apply for a “Prohibited Steps Order”. This is a type of injunction which will stop someone removing a child from your care. Your solicitor can apply for you or you can go to your local County Court or Magistrates Court and ask them for forms to apply. For some Injunctions you may need to apply to the High Court. Some County Courts are allowed to hear High Court cases, they are known as “District Registries of the High Court”. You should check with your local County Court whether they can hear High Court cases. You will need to make a sworn statement known as an “Affidavit” to explain why you want an injunction. (You can use a statement rather than an Affidavit when applying for a common law injunction). Some injunctions can be applied for as an emergency and your opponent need not be at court when you apply for an injunction against them. You may have to go to court a second time and this time your opponent will be present to tell their side of the story
