Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for Section 8 Orders, Child Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Section 8 Orders, commonly known as child arrangements orders, regulate with whom a child should live, spend time or have contact after parental separation. A solicitor helps here by drafting and applying for orders under the Children Act 1989, gathering evidence, and representing the client in a family court. They may negotiate parenting plans, finalise orders, and respond to breaches. These orders may cover residence, contact, and specific arrangements, shaping a child’s day-to-day life and long-term welfare.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

What tends to be complex are the differing proposals for living arrangements, the potential safeguarding concerns, and the evidential requirements to persuade a court. The solicitor explains the law, drafts the required documents, and represents the client at court, including presenting witnesses and addressing the court's welfare considerations to secure a stable arrangement for the child.

David Miles

Tagged solicitor David Miles

I used Slater Healis on an out of court basis, obtaining advice and preparation of court documents whilst remaining a litigant in person. This was as a respondent to a Child Arrangements Order. David was very profession throught. He clearly explained all of my options with pros and cons of each. His advice and assistance was invaluable and I am happy to say that I got the outcome I wanted and what I believe is best for my child. Thank you David

Grant Beveridge

Tagged solicitor Grant Beveridge

I have dealt with Grant for about two years and my case ended with a positive outcome. All dealings with Grant (and all at Thompsons) have been professional and I was kept updated regularly and in layman's language too. I intend recommending Thompsons Solicitors whenever possible.

I have been with Sabz Solicitors since 2019 and I must say they are reliable and the best so far. I have just received the best news I was waiting for, my baby's registration as a British has been successful and want to use this opportunity to thank my case worker Talal for his hard work towards this application. Kudos Sabz Solicitors, You have Done it Again.
