This area covers how parents arrange where a child lives, spends time, and who makes decisions about their welfare after separation. A family solicitor helps with applications for child arrangements orders, consent orders, and mediation, including drafting, responding to proceedings, gathering evidence, negotiating with the other parent, and representing you in hearings in the family court. The work is guided by the Children Act 1989 and related family-law provisions, always focusing on the child's welfare and ensuring appropriate contact unless safety concerns arise.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decision sets lasting arrangements for where the child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent; major changes require careful court scrutiny. A solicitor defends your position by preparing evidence, drafting court documents, and guiding you through court steps within strict time requirements to protect the child's best interests.

Suzanne Foster

Tagged solicitor Suzanne Foster

I would highly recommend Suzanne for advising during high conflict child proceedings. She gave very clear and to the point advice throughout, answered questions in a timely manor, kept me on track through the most emotional stressful situations, avoided silly arguments with the other side and focused on what was important, managed my expectations and at times hard truths when it was needed to ensure the ultimate winning outcome. Suzanne was amazing in court advocate too and put forward my case effectively. We came out with a great CAO for me and what was best for my young child. Thank you!

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 !

Ammarah Balouch

Tagged solicitor Ammarah Balouch

Ammarah Balouch’s guidance and preparation made the first hearing much more manageable. From the start, she was well-prepared and communicated clearly, explaining each stage, so I knew what to expect. Because the case involved my daughter, it was emotionally challenging for me. However, Ammarah remained calm and professional throughout. She ensured the key points were clearly articulated and kept the discussion focused on my daughter’s best interests. Her practical advice, steady support, and responsive communication reduced my stress and boosted my confidence. Following the hearing, we achieved a significant milestone in establishing contact with my daughter, which had previously been made difficult by my ex-wife. This outcome highlighted the effectiveness of Ammarah’s approach and preparation, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone needing support in a family matter.

Michael Tucker

Tagged solicitor Michael Tucker

From day one both Micheal and Darcie have been excellent. They will take time to talk you through the process, they also make themselves available to assist you. One example Micheal was on a weeks holiday and yet he still took time to answer are questions that we had, plus he always keeps us up-to-date with how the case was going. They are both very friendly people and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal advice.
