Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Children Act proceedings, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decisive factor is the child’s welfare and the potential for permanent changes to where a child lives or how they spend time with each parent. A solicitor helps navigate deadlines, court procedures and the availability of interim orders to protect the child’s best interests while the case proceeds.

Wanted to say a massive thank you to Tim, Ameeta and the whole team for everything you’ve done to support my son Dene. I’m so incredibly grateful for your patience, your guidance, and the way you always answer my calls and texts — especially when I’m stressed or something goes wrong. Your professionalism and deep knowledge shine through in everything you do, and it gives me so much confidence knowing Dene is always in such capable hands. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for genuine care, expertise, and outstanding support.

Tagged solicitor Hannah Gumbrill-Ward

Hannah went above and beyond to help me with my case. I actually felt really bad having to come back to her for loads of things that weren’t her job at all but she was so willing to help us in any way she could! I couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using her for any family matters we have in the future. She is simply amazing and honestly makes you feel so at ease. Thank you so much for everything, you truly made the process the best it could have been!

I have gone through my divorce using the service ms of Calthorpes solicitors and they were very helpful. Even when I was not able to pay all, they made arrangements to meet my needs. I definitely recommend.
