How We Can Help You

Our experienced family law team offers expert support on all legal matters involving children, including:

Child Arrangement Orders

Child arrangement orders outline where your child will live and how often they’ll see each parent. We’ll help you formalise an arrangement or resolve disputes either through agreement or by applying to court if needed. Your family, your solution.

Parental Responsibility

Want a legal say in your child’s education, healthcare, or upbringing? We’ll guide you through gaining or sharing parental responsibility and support you in resolving any disagreements over who should be involved in these big decisions.

Specific Issue Orders

Can’t agree on where your child should go to school? Or whether they can travel abroad? A Specific Issue Order helps resolve one-off disputes, let us guide you through it with clarity and care.

Prohibited Steps Orders

Need to stop a parent from taking a specific action like relocating with your child or changing their surname? We can help you apply for a Prohibited Steps Order to keep your child’s best interests protected.

Grandparents’ Rights

Has a family breakdown affected your relationship with your grandchild? We understand how important those bonds are. Our team can help you apply for contact rights and present a strong, child-first case to the court.
