Child Arrangements Frequently Asked Questions
Child arrangements set out where your children live, how often they see each parent, and how important decisions are made. They may be informal or formalised through a Child Arrangements Order.
Not always. Many parents resolve matters through negotiation or mediation. Court is typically a last resort, but we will represent you whenever needed.
Simple, agreed cases can be resolved quickly. Court-based cases may take several months depending on complexity and safeguarding checks.
We can negotiate on your behalf and, if required, apply for:
- Child Arrangements Orders
- Prohibited Steps Orders
- Specific Issue Orders
These require specialist handling.
Our Principal Solicitor, Gavin Edmondson, has a background that includes criminal law work, which means he brings valuable experience to cases involving allegations or safeguarding concerns.
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. If circumstances change, we can help you apply to vary the order.

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!
