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.

Sarah Buxton

Tagged solicitor Sarah Buxton

I have been involved in protracted complex children matters for almost 3 years which have recently come to an end thanks to the invaluable help of Sarah who has been there every step of the way. I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support I received from Sarah and Isabel throughout my case. From the outset they demonstrated outstanding legal expertise and also a deep understanding of the complexities and sensitivities involved in my matter. Sarah took every measure to ensure I felt protected and never left me to deal with difficult moments alone. Sarah was always mindful of the nature of my relationship with my ex partner and went above and beyond to safeguard my wellbeing at every stage. No detail was overlooked and clear, strategic advice was provided at each stage which ultimately led to the best outcome for us. Sarah's unwavering commitment, professionalism and genuine empathy and care made an incredibly difficult process much more manageable. I will always be grateful for everything Sarah has done for my child and I. Thank you for never letting me give up and for fighting tirelessly for what was best for my child- I couldn't have asked for a better team to stand by me throughout this process. I highly recommend Sarah and Isabel to anyone facing issues with complex children matters.

After a bitter break up with my ex partner and having no voice about my children's welfare and wellbeing, many people told me I had zero chance of being given a fair hearing regarding custody of my children. At first I was sceptical and didn't think I should bother, but I did seek advise and approached Owen, White and Catlin, I can honestly say that the work these people do is exceeded my expectations by miles, they were supportive, advise was made clear when I didn't understand and they were thorough throughout the whole process, The children now live with me and are thriving. A first class service !

Dan Cooper

Tagged solicitor Dan Cooper

I really do not know what I would have done if it were not for Dan Cooper at MK Family Law. The compassion of this man is immeasurable. My case was complicated and sensitive and I can not put into words the gratitude I have for Dan. He took control of everything all I had to do was turn up! I would recommend MK Family Law to anyone needing legal help and wouldn't hesitate to use them myself again. From start to finish everything was handled with sensitivity and understanding. Because of Dan Cooper I now have a Special Guardianship Order and the future will be a happy and safe one. If anyone reading this is having any second thoughts about using MK Family Law I would strongly advise you that you would not get better service anywhere else.
