In England, the appointment of a guardian for a child concerns who will safeguard the child’s welfare when the parents are unable to do so or where a Local Authority is involved. A solicitor acting in this area helps apply to the court to appoint a guardian, or to appoint a guardian ad litem or welfare guardian in specific proceedings, and advises on the guardian’s duties. The process involves assessments, reports to the court, and ensuring the child’s voice is heard in decisions about their future.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles applications to appoint guardians, prepares evidence and affidavits, liaises with Local Authorities, social workers and the family, and ensures the guardian has appropriate powers to protect the child’s welfare. They may draft and submit orders or case papers, gather background information, and respond to any objections or changes in circumstances.

Tagged solicitor Chelsea McVicker

I recently worked with Chelsea at Nash & Co for a family law matter, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service and expertise she provided. From the very beginning, Chelsea demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities involved in custody and visitation issues, offering clear and strategic advice that consistently prioritised the best interests of my child. Chelsea’s communication throughout the process was exceptional—prompt, professional, and always attentive to my concerns. She took the time to explain every step in detail, ensuring I was fully informed and confident in the decisions we made together. What truly stood out was Chelsea’s ability to handle sensitive issues with both compassion and a firm grasp of the legal principles involved. She was not just focused on winning, but on achieving an outcome that was fair, sustainable, and in the best interests of my child. I would highly recommend Chelsea at Nash & Co to anyone facing family law challenges. Her expertise, combined with a genuine commitment to her clients, makes her a standout solicitor in this field.

Alicia gave very clear advice to the young person and kept us informed throughout the morning, while in court. She was very supportive and we were pleased with the outcome.

Going through the process of applying for a child court order was something I dreaded. It was emotionally challenging and it felt overwhelming at times, but having the right solicitor made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful for the professional yet compassionate support I received throughout. From the very beginning, my solicitor made things feel manageable. They took the time to explain each step of the process in a way that was clear and easy to understand, which helped reduce my anxiety. I never felt rushed or dismissed, instead, I felt heard, respected, and supported. What really stood out to me was how efficient and reliable they were. Everything was handled in good time, and communication was always prompt and helpful. Even when I had questions or felt unsure, they were patient and responsive. Their professionalism gave me a sense of calm during what was, at times, a very emotional journey. Looking back, I’m so glad I had their guidance through this process. Not only did the job get done, they also made it feel less daunting. I can wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone needing support with family law. They helped me find some peace during one of the most difficult times of my life.
