Crossword Genius

Later chasing minors (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afterwards

'later' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'chasing minors' is the wordplay.
'chasing' becomes 'after' (I've seen this before).
'minors' becomes 'wards' (both can mean children).
'after'+'wards'='AFTERWARDS'

(Other definitions for afterwards that I've seen before include "Subsequently" , "Later on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
