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 Abigail Eriksson-Lee

The service I have received from Abigail and her team has been second to none. What particularly stood out was Abigail's calm and compassionate approach that helped me navigate even the most complex challenges. She keeps the children front and centre of the case whilst simultaneously navigating the intricacies of family law. I am sincerely grateful for her expert guidance and honest approach over what has often been an immensely challenging time.
