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.

Ellie BarnesSarah Robson

Tagged solicitors Ellie Barnes and Sarah Robson

Sarah works hard and is very good at what she does. Trusting her with the most precious gift we ever receive in this life our children. Family court is hard stressful traumatic, Sarah and Ellie her paralegal are the best team. They do everything and go above and beyond to ensure the child’s needs are paramount. Both Sarah and Ellie I would highly recommend. If I am ever unlucky enough to be taken back a 3rd time I would definitely have them both at my side.

Michael Hicks

Tagged solicitor Michael Hicks

Michael Hicks assisted me during divorce proceedings and child act proceedings. He is extremely approachable, professional yet empathetic lawyer. My case was complex (divorce, family matters, contact of non resident parent and child) and dragged due to my ex partner being unreasonable. However I am confident that I would not achieve what I did without the help of well informed and extremely efficient solicitor. If I was to use legal assistance in the future Michael would be the first person to contact. Thank you
