Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Child Custody, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

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.

Chloe Dixon

Tagged solicitor Chloe Dixon

Wendy Hopkins Law, Chloe, is an amazing family court lawyer and law firm. They took on my case in a very difficult time after another law firm failed to address it properly. They came in on the back foot as a result and turned the entire case completely around for better judgments and time with family. They got the most important thing for me back after my Faith-time with my child. God bless Chloe and Thank you again. Any parent that needs help with matters in Family court, Wendy Hopkins law should be your first choice and they not only give hope, but they turn hope into reality.

Alicia Nottage

Tagged solicitor Alicia Nottage

I would totally recommend Stryders. I was delighted at their friendly and open approach to my issue. I was involved at every step of the way, so I knew what was going on. They was excellent at keeping me updated and told me I could contact them at anytime with any concerns or worries I had. I knew I could rely on them to achieve the best outcome for my son. Alicia was very good with my Son and outlined clearly the case and gave very good instructions for court.

Louise Buttery

Tagged solicitor Louise Buttery

I was in a very difficult place for many reasons due to my situation but I gave FLP a call and from the moment I received a callback from George and then Louise, I was instantly reassured and put at ease. Louise was empathetic and kind towards my situation and helped keep me focused to get a strong evidence led foundation in place. She is very good at maintaining communication with me, resolving any arising issues, and keeping me advised throughout the process. It was a pleasure to work with her and very grateful for her support and help. She knows the law back to front and how to best navigate it all to get a good outcome that is in the best interest of the children. She is a true asset to FLP!

Emily first spoke to me on the phone when I was looking for a solicitor and I could tell from her tone and words that she understood I was in pain and in need of help. She was professional yet human throughout. She helped me navigate difficult times and I was grateful for her honesty and guidance.

Recently come to end of a 2 year legal battle in family court for custody of my children. With the help of the family department particularly Jan and Emily I was able to win custody of my sons and can now move on with life. The only reason the case took so long was due to complexity of it.

Having spent the previous 24 months going around in circles with another practice, it was a pleasure to be introduced to Michael at Stokes Partners who excelled in every sense of the word. From the initial phone call to the final email, his care, excellent advice and efficient service meant much more than words can ever express at a time when the family needed it most.

I would like to thank Maxwell Hodge for their work, it’s been a difficult time and not the most straight forward of circumstances to navigate. The team have gone above and beyond in supporting and getting things to the end goal. I can’t recommend them enough.

Nicola Weeks

Tagged solicitor Nicola Weeks

Pragmatic but essential guidance through divorce proceedings. It was very important to both of us that we didn't fall out and make a bad situation worse, and Nicola worked with me and my now ex-wife's solicitor to ensure that any queries or potentially contentious issues were quickly and positively closed down. The orders were proposed and agreed promptly and the whole exercise was as painless as it could be in the circumstances.
