Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Alternative Families, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Alternative Families covers legal issues that arise when parenting or family life occurs outside the traditional marriage or civil partnership framework. A solicitor in this area helps with fertility and surrogacy arrangements, parental orders, donor conception issues, recognition of parental status for non‑biological or non‑marital parents, co‑habitee disputes over children, step‑parent involvement in parenting, adoption, guardianship and child arrangements. They draft and review agreements, apply to courts for orders, and advise on safeguarding the child’s welfare and the parents’ rights, with regard to court rules and social services involvement.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key risk is irreversible consequences for a child and parental rights, such as orders altering guardianship or parental status. Court processes, including applications for orders and safeguarding determinations, must be completed within statutory timelines to protect the child and enable clear parenting arrangements.

Peter Martin

Tagged solicitor Peter Martin

I obtained a second opinion from Peter Martin on several matters where my existing solicitor had been failing in both service and explanation of the status with my divorce case, and a brief review of the way forward for applying for probate in respect of my late mothers estate . I found Peter to be extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. The advice given has probably saved me further expense and valuable time, and has clarified my position in respect of a formal complaint against my divorce case solicitor. I would be pleased to recommend him.

Michelle Collins

Tagged solicitor Michelle Collins

I have worked with the Private Client team for nearly a decade (relating to post-bereavement matters) and have found them responsive, knowledgeable and - most importantly - able to speak in plain English. The issues I have faced have felt complex and overwhelming. They have helped me to understand what's needed and helped me put in a plan to work through and resolve issues.
