Child Arrangements Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

They set out where your children live, how much time they spend with each parent, and how key decisions are made. They can be agreed informally or formalised by a Child Arrangements Order.

Not necessarily. Many parents resolve matters through negotiation or mediation. Court is usually a last resort, but we’ll represent you whenever needed.

Agreed cases can be resolved quickly. Court-based cases may take several months depending on complexity and safeguarding checks.

These cases need specialist guidance.

Our Principal Solicitor, Gavin Edmondson, has extensive experience in criminal law, giving him valuable insight into cases involving allegations or safeguarding concerns.

We can negotiate on your behalf or apply for:

  • Child Arrangements Orders
  • Prohibited Steps Orders
  • Specific Issue Orders

Mothers always do. Fathers do if married at the time of birth or named on the birth certificate (after 2003). If not, we can help you obtain Parental Responsibility.

Yes. Orders can be varied if circumstances change.

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!
