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.

Rachael Wood

Tagged solicitor Rachael Wood

Rachael Wood helped me with my child arrangement order in a professional manner and showed patience and understanding during my many enquiries. It was probably one of the most stressful times of my life but Rachael explained everything thoroughly so I had a good understanding of the whole process and calmed me down when it all got a bit too much. I shall always say, “I had the best solicitor to get me through the proceedings" and would recommended her to anyone going through anything similar. Thankyou Rachael.

Daniel Bennett

Tagged solicitor Daniel Bennett

From the very beginning of what has been one of the most distressing and complex periods of my life, Daniel Bennett has been nothing short of exceptional. His knowledge of family law and adoption proceedings is outstanding, and his ability to navigate an extraordinarily difficult case with such professionalism, clarity, and strategic skill ultimately led to a life-changing outcome for my family. Daniel didn’t just provide legal representation — he provided steadfast support, calm reassurance, and consistently sound advice at every stage. During moments of confusion, fear, and overwhelmed panic (of which there were many), Daniel had an incredible ability to steady the situation, explain matters clearly, and help me feel grounded and safe in the process. His judgement, foresight, and attention to detail were second to none. What truly sets Daniel apart is that alongside his remarkable legal expertise, he is also an exceptionally kind, patient, and approachable person. I never once felt dismissed or rushed — every concern was taken seriously, and every question answered with care and respect. I would also like to mention Victoria Stanton, whose warmth, friendliness, and genuine kindness made such a difference during an otherwise very upsetting time. Her smile, reassurance, and professional efficiency consistently made dealing with a difficult situation feel just a little lighter. Thanks to Daniel’s tireless work, dedication, and expertise, we achieved the best possible outcome — something that will shape our lives forever. I will always remain deeply grateful. I cannot recommend Daniel Bennett and the team at Whitehead Monckton highly enough.
