    This area covers who a child will live with and how they will spend time with each parent after separation, including making or enforcing arrangements for the child’s upbringing and welfare. A solicitor helps with applications under the Children Act 1989, drafting orders about residence (where the child lives), contact (who they see and when), and parental responsibility, and representing the client in family court proceedings. The work may involve gathering evidence, negotiating parenting plans, and applying for or defending court orders to protect the child’s welfare.

    “I had a consultation with Asia regarding a child related matter. She handled the matter compassionately and professionally. She explained the law articulately and provided very clear next steps. Most importantly, she was honest regarding the viability (or not!) of the options available to me. It’s on this basis that I have decided to proceed with Fullers Family Law. I highly recommend Asia for an initial consultation even if you are sure on next steps!!”

    “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%.”

    “If you are looking for legal representation for yourself or possibly a son or daughter, especially if its a delicate matter, then simply, look no further, we were left in a very unfortunate position where for some unknown reason, at the last minute the legal firm we had, decided to stop representing my son, Ashtons Legal stepped in, and all i can say is they were unbelievable in every way, we were 100 percent confident that they were really fighting our sons corner, yes they were exceptionally professional but more than that, they really showed compassion and understanding for what we were going through and yes the result they achieved in court was far better than we ever expected. It is so difficult picking the right legal representation, our worry was always have we picked the right one, simple answer yes we did we chose Ashtons. ”
