Complex Private Law Children Matters covers disputes about where a child should live, contact with both parents or guardians, parental responsibilities, move-aways abroad, and special guardianship or permanence orders, all within private family disputes. A solicitor in England and Wales would draft and respond to court applications, gather and exchange evidence, prepare welfare assessments, and negotiate orders or settlements. They counsel clients, represent them in court, and manage timetables, disclosure, and safeguarding concerns to protect the child’s welfare in private law proceedings.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The work involves handling care and residence applications, contact disputes, parental responsibilities, relocation applications, and orders such as parenting plans or permanence orders. It requires managing evidence, welfare assessments, and court timetables, with procedural steps in the Family Court and potentially the High Court for complex cases. The solicitor ensures compliance with court directions, draft and file applications, and coordinates with Guardian ad Litem or Cafcass where applicable to safeguard the child’s welfare.

Georgina BurrowsOlivia Bailey

Tagged solicitors Georgina Burrows and Olivia Bailey

I had originally contacted Greens solicitors ltd to enquire about representation for changing my daughter's surname. After speaking with Georgina via video call it was agreed to go for further orders in my daughter's case. I met with Olivia who represented myself in court on both occasions and I honestly cannot express how happy and appreciative I am of everything she done for me. She kept me informed on each step and was able to answer any questions or concerns i had. Olivia had my daughter's best interests at heart and gathered all evidence that was beneficial for my case.
