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.

Lisa Jane Lane

Tagged solicitor Lisa Jane Lane

Lisa returned my first telephone call quickly and arranged for the initial meeting within a few days where she explained exactly the requirements. When the documents were ready for signing she arranged for an independent witness, who was known to us, to be present and to countersign the documents. The whole process through to the registration of the PoA's with the Office of the Public Guardian was conducted professionally.
