    This work covers private disputes about who a child lives with and sees and public law proceedings brought by local authorities, including care proceedings, placement and adoption applications, special guardianship and enforcement of contact. Solicitors draft section 8 child arrangements and specific issue applications, prepare statements and witness evidence, assemble social‑work bundles, engage with Cafcass and social services, negotiate without or attend pre‑proceedings (PLO) meetings, apply for emergency protection and represent clients in the family court and, for complex cases, in the High Court under wardship or inherent jurisdiction. The Children Act 1989 welfare checklist shapes most decisions.

    “Approached Venters for help after applying for a c100 child arrangement order through the family court. They were amazing, support and guidance throughout, help dealing with sensitive issues and ultimately played a huge part in keeping my children safe.

    “I had a very unique and unusual family case, with many moving parts, services and problems cropping up. Nicola handled every curve ball thrown at her. She was beyond professional, she was my rock professionally through the hardest time in my life. Nicola was involved in my complex case for approximately 3 years and never once lacked enthusiasm, support or fire to help me and what was best for my child. She absolutely put my child’s needs above all else and gave advise which was best when I was being led by emotion. I will always be using Nicola in the future should I need to. First class service and also service that was adapted to my needs.”
