Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for Child Custody & Contact Solicitors, Child Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Kerry Avis

Tagged solicitor Kerry Avis

So just thought to leave a review, a bit late (2 years to be precise) but couldn't recommend a better family solicitors. I won custody of my son 2 years or so ago with the help of Kerry and her team. As a dad it's never easy to get custody even with everything in your favour I know this but I couldn't of asked for better legal advice and help than I got here. Would recommend 100%.

Melanie BridgenMelanie Theakstone

Tagged solicitors Melanie Bridgen and Melanie Theakstone

I contacted Nelson’s on the recommendation of another client and was allocated Melanie Brigden. After the initial consultation I was more than confident that Melanie and of course Melanie 2 could handle this somewhat difficult case! Initially I went with a child arrangement order which both parents objected to but Melanie soon dealt with their objections and the order was given … I went for an SGO order as well and although it’s wasn’t granted didn’t feel it was anything to do with the lack of attention to detail by Melanie her hands were tied by social worker recommendation. This still didn’t stop Melanie pushing in court for the best outcome possible on the day .. I am totally happy my granddaughter gets to grow up in a safe , loving and stable future. I would recommend the two Melanie’s and employ them again in a minute .

Andrew Firth

Tagged solicitor Andrew Firth

Andrew has supported me on previous occasions and, whilst he has not formally represented me throughout my recent proceedings, he has continued to provide invaluable legal guidance and support. My case has been particularly challenging. Throughout the Family Court process, Andrew took the time to walk me through documentation, sense-check correspondence from the opposing solicitor, and was even available should I have needed immediate assistance during court hearings. This was also the case through my financial remedy. One might argue that this is simply part of the job and that Foys should expect no less. However, Andrew consistently went well above and beyond what I could reasonably have expected. He not only provided sound legal advice, but also knew when the best course of action was to advise me not to respond at all, which was often just as valuable. He has always acted with the utmost professionalism. Equally important, his humour and wit have frequently shone through. During what was, at times, an isolating and overwhelming legal battle for a lay person, those moments of humanity made a real difference. It is something I will never forget. Andrew is a genuinely decent man, an exceptional solicitor, and a tremendous asset to Foys Solicitors. His experience, judgement and leadership are qualities that cannot easily be replicated. I understand that Andrew is now in the process of embarking on what I hope will be a long and enjoyable retirement. Before he does so, I wanted to place on record my sincere thanks, and those of my children, who now benefit from the security of a robust Child Arrangements Order.

Ruth Hetherington

Tagged solicitor Ruth Hetherington

I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough. Ruth is quite simply outstanding and deserves the highest recognition for her work. Over the course of 4.5 years of on and off court proceedings, Ruth has been my absolute rock and has consistently gone above and beyond in every possible way. Ruth's knowledge and experience are truly exceptional. She is honestly a master of her field. But what genuinely set her apart was how she made me feel throughout this incredibly difficult process. As a woman supporting another woman through family court, she gave me strength when I didn't think I had any left. There were days I wasn't sure I could even walk into the courtroom, and Ruth's unwavering support and encouragement gave me the courage to carry on when I thought I couldn't. Her legal advice was nothing short of outstanding. Always clearly explained, strategic, and perfectly tailored to our unique situation. She demonstrated incredible skill in navigating complex legal matters and always anticipated potential challenges before they arose. Ruth was consistently available whenever I needed to reach out, responding promptly with professionalism, wisdom, and genuine care. Her dedication to our case was evident in every interaction. Beyond her brilliant legal mind, Ruth is also warm, friendly, and genuinely supportive. She treated me with dignity and compassion at every step, making an unbearable situation feel manageable. Her ability to balance professionalism with authentic human kindness is a rare and precious quality. We have finally achieved the best possible outcome for our son, and I am beyond grateful to Ruth for everything she has done. I honestly could not have done this without her expertise, support, and unwavering commitment to our case. Ruth is an absolute credit to your firm and to the legal profession. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone facing similar challenges. She is simply the best.
