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.

Ardra Pillai

Tagged solicitor Ardra Pillai

I cannot recommend Ardra highly enough. She has been exceptional throughout my family law case and provided an outstanding level of service from start to finish. Ardra handled my case with great professionalism, care and attention to detail. She demonstrated an excellent understanding of the legal issues involved and was always clear, thorough and reassuring in her advice. What stood out most to me was the way she handled me as a client. She listened carefully, understood what was important to me and always treated my concerns with respect and compassion. This was a very important and emotional matter for me, particularly as it involved spending time with my daughter following the court proceedings with her mother. Ardra worked diligently on my behalf and helped me achieve an outcome that allowed me to have that precious time with my daughter. Her professionalism, knowledge, dedication and genuine commitment to her clients are exceptional. I always felt that my case was in capable hands, and her support made a very difficult process much easier to navigate. Thank you, Ardra, for everything you have done for me. I am extremely grateful for your hard work and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for an excellent solicitor who truly cares about her clients.

Melissa Billington

Tagged solicitor Melissa Billington

I am very happy with the service provided from this firm, also the barrister that was assigned to assist during the court hearings. The Solicitors were easily contactable and always replied quickly and were informative. They took away mass amounts of stress during this difficult time and I feel going forward there is a clear plan for my child to spend time with her father. Thankyou very much.

Sarah-Jane Varley

Tagged solicitor Sarah-Jane Varley

Sarah-Jane Varley I required the services of a solicitor due to allegations made by a parent/guardian. I contacted a numbers of solicitors before deciding to appoint Sarah-Jane Varley. Sarah-Jane Varley demonstrated patience, understanding and excellent listening skills as the context of the case was outlined. Once the detailed has been gathered I found Sarah-Jane Varley utilised excellent verbal and written communication skills which helped reduced the stress of situation. As the case progressed I found Sarah-Jane Varley proved to be hardworking and persevering bringing the case to a successful conclusion. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Sarah-Jane Varley as your solicitor. Paul

Sarah Ward

Tagged solicitor Sarah Ward

I cannot put into words how amazing Sarah is, I don’t think I could have got through the last year and a half without her. Sarah is always at the end of the phone and truly cares about you and your case. Her advice is fantastic and she will fight for what is right but also make sure you know the facts and what to expect. I have worked with solicitors in the past and never ever came across anyone like Sarah. You feel like you are a total priority and from the bottom of my heart anyone who is dealing with child arrangement orders and child matters you need Sarah because in situations where you feel like there is no end she will find that light and take no prisoners on her way. She is simply the best and the best decision I made was calling Sarah over a year ago. Thank you Sarah for everything.
