    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.

    “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”
