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.

Whoever you speak to at SAS Daniels gives you great advice. Everyone works together. They seem to get the job right the first time where other firms take many attempts. The firm listens to what you want and works with you. Billing is easy and transparent compared to other firms who seem to pluck figures from thin air. This firm really understand the challenges of child custody cases and treats you like it’s their own child.
