The Seven Year Rule in this area concerns how long a child’s living arrangements or care orders may be considered when deciding issues such as permanence, contact, or adoption. A solicitor practises by reviewing the child’s housing, welfare and contact history, and advises on options for securing or challenging long-term arrangements. They may prepare and present evidence to the court, liaise with local authorities, guardians ad litem, and the child’s family, and help with applications for orders or placements that affect the child’s future.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decision can shape a child's permanent living situation and future support, with deadlines and potential irreversible outcomes that affect guardianship, contact, and welfare. A solicitor ensures the relevant legal tests are met, evidentially supported, and properly documented in court proceedings, while safeguarding the child’s interests throughout.
