Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Child Contact and Paternity Issues, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

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.

Ian Spender

Tagged solicitor Ian Spender

Mr Spender came to our home, as my husband and I found great difficulty in climbing the stairs to his office. He took great trouble in explaining the Lasting Power of Attorney to us. I was able to read the forms, but my husband, who has Macular Degeneration could not. Mr Spender spent time and effort in reading the forms to him. In fact, nothing was too much trouble for Mr Spender, who put us both at ease. I highly recommend Mr Spender for his professionalism and his genuine concern for our welfare.

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.
