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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers arrangements for where a child lives and with whom they spend time after separation, formalised through child arrangements and parental responsibilities. A solicitor drafts and negotiates orders such as Child Arrangements Orders, Specific Issue Orders and Prohibited Steps Orders, and represents the client in Family Court proceedings or mediations. The work is shaped by factors like the child’s welfare, potential court involvement, and the parents’ ability to agree.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The court can decide on living and contact arrangements, with orders lasting until changed. A solicitor grounds the case in the Children Act 1989, gathers evidence, prepares welfare reports, and advocates for the client in negotiations or hearings to protect the child’s welfare and secure a clear framework for parental involvement.

Melanie Bridgen

Tagged solicitor Melanie Bridgen

I contacted Melanie Bridgen from Nelsons Solicitors in Derby for advice in child arrangement. Her knowledge was more than I could ask for. She helped me through every concern I had and with her colleague Melanie Theakstone put together my wishes, contacted my ex, made sure that everything I legally wanted it was written down as clear for the court application as possible. They followed my case through CAFCASS and the final court order. Mrs. Bridgen had straight questions, and answers to everything. They took the process of my shoulder, and in 2 months I have received the final order from court (with Christmas included). I cannot be more thankful for their job and knowledge.

Craig Gosling

We had a relatively complex Powers of Attorney requirement which was completed in an efficient and accurate way. We were kept up to date with all the progress, and the process was explained to us in a clear and timely fashion.

Stephanie Buckeridge

Tagged solicitor Stephanie Buckeridge

Dealing with Stephanie Buckeridge in support of my divorce was much easier than I might have expected. Her professional advice, tempered with a supportive approach made the whole process acceptable. Her reaction to some of the requests from the other party matched my thoughts, though I was always provided with alternative approaches, along with potential consequences. I would certainly recommend Gardner Leader to others.

Ian Brunt

Tagged solicitor Ian Brunt

I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.
