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.

Tagged solicitor Nicola Magrath

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.

Tagged solicitor Ishratara Islam

I had a great experience with Farani Taylor. I needed to transfer an ongoing Child arrangements case I had from my previous lawyers firm, Mrs Islam accepted to have my case transferred over in such a short space of time. It was such a smooth process. My case was assigned to Fahmida who was pleasant to work with, both ladies were quick, efficient and always kept me updated. I would highly recommend this firm. Working with them was positive and successful. I would 100% recommend them to friends and family, and anyone who needs a professional firm who sticks to there word, wants the very best out come for their clients.

During our absolutely horrendous experience, where our children where mistakenly deemed to be in need of protection, Mark was our absolute champion, contacting the authorities and making sure we were updated at all times. I couldn't recommend him more.

Hannah Stanford

Tagged solicitor Hannah Stanford

We had a child matter which required intervention from Courts and solicitors unfortunately, the court battle was long drawn out but Hannah and Andrew handled it with much professionalism, empathy and got our family to the goalpost we needed. Hannah and Andrew were extremely responsive when issues arose during the proceedings and were always available to answer our questions and concerns. They also engaged a great Barrister who we could not have been without.

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.
