    Specific Issues is a child-law procedure used when parents or carers disagree on a particular welfare question for a child and a court is asked to decide that precise point. It sits under the Children Act 1989 as a focused tool to resolve a specific matter, rather than making broad final orders about residence or contact. A solicitor in this area drafts and issues the application, gathers evidence, coordinates with local authorities and Cafcass, and represents the client at court hearings to secure a court order on the exact question set out in the order. The process is court-driven, can involve mediation or round-table hearings, and hinges on the child’s best interests as the paramount consideration.

    “When I first approached GA Solicitors a couple of years ago regarding family law, I was extremely nervous and didn't understand what it was I exactly needed. I was put through to a lovely lady who listened and put me in contact with Jodie Harding. From the off set, Jodie was absolutely fantastic. She put me at ease and listened to all my concerns, she was very knowledgeable in regards to what i asked or required information on. Jodie was always honest with me and if she felt something wasn't the right way to go she would advise me of this and maybe give an alternative. However the final decision was always mine and she would take instruction professionally. I 100% trusted Jodie, I could call or email anytime and I knew once she picked it up she would respond or another member of the team would on days off or holidays. The team I dealt with were all very understanding and professional. I never once felt like I was a nuisance and they always wanted what was best for my child and my welfare. I could not recommend GA Solicitors more. Thank you to Jodie, Lauren and all the team for their hard work over the years I worked with them”
