Child Arrangements Frequently Asked Questions
Child arrangements determine where your children live, how often they see each parent, and how important decisions are made. These can be agreed informally or made legally binding through a Child Arrangements Order.
Not always. Many families reach agreements through negotiation or mediation. Court is usually a last resort, but we will represent you if it becomes necessary.
Simple, agreed arrangements can be completed quickly. Court-involved cases can take several months depending on complexity, safeguarding checks and court listings.
We can assist with negotiation and, if needed, apply to court on your behalf for:
- Child Arrangements Orders
- Prohibited Steps Orders
- Specific Issue Orders
These cases require specialist handling.

Mr B - Crewe, UK
Gavin and his team were brilliant they took on my divorce case after I'd received a terrible service from a previous law firm and they instantly turned it around for me and got me a fantastic result they also took on my child arrangements case and the result again was outstanding and my daughter now lives with me full time I'm so grateful for their help it was the best decision I made going to see them.
Mr B - Belfast, UK
Once again Gavin was an encyclopedia of knowledge! I'm pretty convinced he knows the law and every possible angle more than people that have written the law themselves. Sound and honest advice whatever the way your case is going. I would use them again and recommend without hesitation!
