    Private children applications cover disputes about who a child should live with, how much time they should spend with each parent, and related issues such as schooling or relocation. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates court documents, prepares statements of case, gathers evidence, and represents the client in hearings in the family court or county court. They may also assist with mediation, secure disclosure of information, and apply for orders such as a Child Arrangements Order, Specific Issue Order, or Prohibited Steps Order to resolve the arrangements.
