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.

Helen has been my solicitor for 2 years. A very long time. She has always been the best. She has fought so hard for me against social services. She always put my point across in a professional way that I would not have been able to. She came to visit me in placement. She always worked around me at all hours. I have had countless appointments. She has listened to me ramble for hours. Thank you.

Paul Reay

Tagged solicitor Paul Reay

Before speaking to Paul I had zero contact with my Daughter and my ex partner was making it impossible for me to see her, Paul was quick to take action and within a week I was seeing my daughter again. He made it clear from the start and was very honest about everything from expectations and costs I would highly recommend using him if you can as I have not doubt he is in high demand.

Sarah Jones

Tagged solicitor Sarah Jones

I cannot thank Sarah enough for everything she has done for my daughter and me. This has been a long, exhausting, and emotional journey, and throughout it all Sarah has shown nothing but kindness, compassion, and unwavering support. From the very beginning, she listened to me, believed me, and made me feel truly heard when I needed it most. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows exactly what she is doing. Her expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the entire process. Whenever I had concerns or questions, she was able to explain things clearly, provide reassurance, and guide me in the right direction. Knowing that someone so experienced was supporting us made an enormous difference during such a difficult time. There were times when I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about what the future would hold, but Sarah was always there to offer reassurance, guidance, and understanding. Her patience, genuine care, and dedication helped me navigate one of the most challenging periods of my life with confidence and hope. Because of Sarah's support, my daughter and I can finally move forward with our lives and focus on building a happy future together. The positive impact she has had on our lives is something I will never forget. Sarah goes above and beyond for the people she supports, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by my side throughout this process. Her dedication, empathy, expertise, and commitment have made a life-changing difference for our family. Thank you, Sarah, for believing in me, supporting us every step of the way, and helping us reach this point. I will always be grateful for everything you have done, and I would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone who needs support, guidance, and someone who genuinely cares.

Khizar Hussain

Tagged solicitor Khizar Hussain

I would not hesitate to recommend Dynasty Law for family court representation. They were professional throughout and kept me fully informed about what to expect at each hearing, which made a daunting process feel far less overwhelming. Khizar and Zayn have been great, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation.
