Private Children Cases cover disputes about where a child should live, how and when they should see both parents, and related welfare decisions following the Family Court process in England. A solicitor in this area helps families navigate the Children Act 1989 and related rules, preparing court applications, statements, and evidence, drafting or negotiating consent orders, and representing the client at hearings. They advise on mediation, local authority involvement when relevant, and the practical steps to resolve custody and contact arrangements.

“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.”

“Going through the process of applying for a child court order was something I dreaded. It was emotionally challenging and it felt overwhelming at times, but having the right solicitor made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful for the professional yet compassionate support I received throughout. From the very beginning, my solicitor made things feel manageable. They took the time to explain each step of the process in a way that was clear and easy to understand, which helped reduce my anxiety. I never felt rushed or dismissed, instead, I felt heard, respected, and supported. What really stood out to me was how efficient and reliable they were. Everything was handled in good time, and communication was always prompt and helpful. Even when I had questions or felt unsure, they were patient and responsive. Their professionalism gave me a sense of calm during what was, at times, a very emotional journey. Looking back, I’m so glad I had their guidance through this process. Not only did the job get done, they also made it feel less daunting. I can wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone needing support with family law. They helped me find some peace during one of the most difficult times of my life.”

“This man always picked up the phone and answered every questions no matter how small or silly I felt to help my overthinking worrying mind through the family court process. He made me feel at ease and explained everything to me so I fully understood everything. He even went as far as to check in with me after every hearing and every hick up with the other party to check me and my son was okay. He went above and beyond and if anything was to arise again he would be my first port of call instantly. I could not thank him enough for getting me through that hardest time of my life. He has a manner about him that’s calming and understanding and puts u at ease from start to finish. He’s a star! ⭐️ ”
