    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.

    “Top class service and very loyal. Stick by you until the end, even then they check up on you! Reasonably priced. Shannon was my solicitor through my Child Arrangement Order case and she was absolutely amazing. No regrets and would use them every time. It’s a huge 5 stars from Me!”
