Child custody in England covers who a child lives with, who makes important decisions about their upbringing, and how contact with the other parent is arranged. A solicitor helps clients apply for, respond to, or defend orders such as a Child Arrangements Order, and to navigate parental responsibility and best interests assessments. They advise on evidence, draft applications, and represent clients at family courts to secure a stable living and contact arrangement for the child.
The court’s primary concern is the child’s welfare, with decisions that can affect living arrangements, schooling, and parental involvement. If a decision is not made promptly, the child’s day-to-day upbringing and long-term stability may be affected; a solicitor helps ensure timely, robust submissions and adherence to procedural deadlines under the Children Act 1989 and related family court rules.

Tagged solicitors Sarah Dureau and Terri Anson-Dean
I have worked with Sarah and later Terri for the past five years through my divorce, financial settlement order, child arrangements order. More recently Terri has supported me with a co-habitation agreement and updating my will, specific issues with my ex-husband including specific issues orders such as secondary school placements and changes to my original child arrangement order. They have both helped me to deal with my legal issues with dignity and respect at very difficult and challenging times when I have felt like doing anything but that. My circumstances with my ex-husband are on the extreme end of the scale and it has meant that attention to detail and using the correct wording has been key to obtaining the right result for an easier life. I would highly recommend Terri, her attention to detail and anticipating all the possible angles has been exceptional. She is extremely hard working, caring and dedicated to getting the right result for her client. I can’t thank Terri enough for all she has supported me with lately, issues with my ex-husband are never easy to resolve and I’m sure she must dread seeing my name on her call back list! There have been a lot of times when I have felt like crying, giving up or I wasn’t sure what to do next or how to deal with a situation and I can’t thank Terri enough for being there to support me through those difficult times. For as long as Terri is happy to work with me, I will continue to work with her on any future legal issues.
