This area covers adoption, which ends the legal parent–child relationship and creates a new permanent status for a child, and special guardianship, which grants long‑term parental rights without full adoption. A solicitor helps with court applications for adoption or Special Guardianship Orders, drafts and files petitions, prepares evidence and welfare reports, coordinates with local authorities and birth relatives, and represents the client at hearings in the family court under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and related legislation.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decisive steps involve court orders that permanently shape the child’s upbringing and legal rights. A solicitor ensures timely, properly evidenced applications, monitors consent requirements, and navigates any implications for inheritance, contact, and parental responsibilities. Delays or errors can affect the child’s future stability and the family’s legal position.

Tagged solicitor Angela Killa

I can't recommend JCP Solicitors enough. Angela Killa, my solicitor, was warm and supportive throughout whilst also ensuring that her advice was impartial and factual. I was completely supported in my choices and wishes, and legalities and appropriate approaches were clearly flagged to me. I had full confidence in Angela's professional abilities, which were outstanding. I was guided through each step clearly and supportively, and felt confident that my outcome would be in the best interests of my child, which was at the heart of everything Angela did. Thank you Angela, and thank you JCP, for all you did for us. I am completely satisfied with the work completed for us and feel that it was excellent value, given its importance.
