Attorney at law Kardo Karon has focused on family law and proceedings where a minor is a party to the proceedings as one of his main areas of activity.

From all of the above, Attorney at law Kardo Karon has gained a good overview and understanding of what the legal knowledge of parents in family law in particular is in general, and since parents often cannot even distinguish between contact arrangements and custody, Kardo Karon created his own training series “The Legal Side of Parenthood”. The training is intended primarily for parents, but life has shown that there have always been a fair number of child protection workers and family mediators among the participants. The training provides an overview of the regulation of maintenance, custody rights, contact arrangements and how the legal proceedings on these topics work. The training was launched in 2022.

In addition, Kardo Karon has trained child protection workers from various local governments with the aim of teaching child protection workers to better represent children in court proceedings. Kardo Karon has also participated as an expert in the winning team of the Social Insurance Board’s 2024 procurement “Creating e-courses for child protection workers and specialists working with children” and Kardo Karon’s task was to create the legal content of the entire online training.
