Children Act proceedings cover how courts decide parental responsibility, residence, contact and safeguarding for children when families face separation, disagreement or risk. A solicitor guides the client through applications under the Children Act 1989, prepares statements, disclosures and witness evidence, negotiates orders such as residence or contact, applies for child arrangements orders, and represents the client at court hearings. The work often involves coordinating with social services, hospital or school staff, and ensuring the child’s welfare remains the court’s central concern.

“I cannot recommend Jelena highly enough. She supported me during one of the most challenging and emotionally exhausting periods of my life, providing clear, pragmatic legal advice with professionalism, compassion and integrity throughout. From our very first conversation, she took the time to understand the complexities of my situation and gave me the confidence to make informed decisions that were always centred on my son's welfare. Her calm, reassuring manner and exceptional legal knowledge helped me navigate an incredibly difficult and stressful process. The proceedings have now concluded, and the outcome ultimately reinforced the concerns that had led me to seek her advice in the first place. Looking back, I am incredibly grateful to have had her guidance at such a critical time. Her advice was measured, honest and unwavering, and I always felt that she genuinely cared about achieving the right outcome rather than simply progressing a case. What sets her apart is not only her legal expertise but also her empathy, professionalism and ability to make you feel supported when you need it most. She combines meticulous attention to detail with a compassionate approach that is invaluable when dealing with sensitive family matters. I will always be grateful for her support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking an outstanding family solicitor. She is a credit to her profession.”
