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 solicitors Georgina Burrows and Olivia Bailey

I had originally contacted Greens solicitors ltd to enquire about representation for changing my daughter's surname. After speaking with Georgina via video call it was agreed to go for further orders in my daughter's case. I met with Olivia who represented myself in court on both occasions and I honestly cannot express how happy and appreciative I am of everything she done for me. She kept me informed on each step and was able to answer any questions or concerns i had. Olivia had my daughter's best interests at heart and gathered all evidence that was beneficial for my case.
