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.

Joan Fidelma McCarthySylvia Rosemarie Parsonage

Tagged solicitors Joan Fidelma McCarthy and Sylvia Rosemarie Parsonage

I would wholeheartedly recommend Parsonage and Co. Sylvia is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic and was responsive to me at all times. I felt to be in safe and competent hands at all times. As important as the substance is, in my opinion it is also as important how a solicitor treats you and Sylvia was always very kind and sympathetic to the situation and also completely on my side. I trusted her completely that she would do her very best for me and I was not disappointed. I am very grateful that Sylvia Parsonage represented me in this matter. I would also like to add that the rest of the team is also very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.
