    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.

    Lisa Milbourn Your solicitor Lisa Milbourn Solicitor
    “Sarah-Jane Varley I required the services of a solicitor due to allegations made by a parent/guardian. I contacted a numbers of solicitors before deciding to appoint Sarah-Jane Varley. Sarah-Jane Varley demonstrated patience, understanding and excellent listening skills as the context of the case was outlined. Once the detailed has been gathered I found Sarah-Jane Varley utilised excellent verbal and written communication skills which helped reduced the stress of situation. As the case progressed I found Sarah-Jane Varley proved to be hardworking and persevering bringing the case to a successful conclusion. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Sarah-Jane Varley as your solicitor. Paul”

    “ I am extremely grateful for the support I received from my solicitor throughout my child arrangements case. Olivia was helpful, supportive and there for me every step of the way.
