This area covers resolving who a child will spend time with after separation, and cases where paternity affects parental rights and responsibilities. A solicitor helps you assess who has parental responsibility, gathers together the evidence about suitable contact, drafts and negotiates orders, and applies to the court for contact or residence orders where agreement cannot be reached. They also handle enforcement if contact is breached and arrange DNA or paternity testing where needed, liaising with social services and guardians as appropriate.
The stakes revolve around the child’s welfare and the certainty of routine arrangements. A solicitor’s work focuses on securing or reviewing orders for contact, residence, and parental responsibilities, and on responding to any breaches. They ensure the relevant evidence is presented to the court and that the proceedings respect the child’s best interests and any urgent interim needs.
