Guardianship disputes in England cover who should have lasting responsibility for a child when parents cannot or should not decide. A solicitor helps with court applications to appoint, vary or remove a guardian under the Children Act 1989, advising on parental responsibility, welfare decisions and who can make important choices about the child’s life. They assist with preparing evidence, drafting court documents, negotiating with family members, and presenting the case in the Family Court or its approved equivalents, always focusing on the child’s welfare and legal status.
The decisive issues are who will exercise parental responsibility and make ongoing welfare decisions for the child, including where they live and how they are looked after. A solicitor helps gather evidence, prepare applications for guardianship orders, and present the case to the court, ensuring the child’s rights and best interests are protected under the Children Act 1989.

Sarah Orrell and her assistant Carol Cunningham helped me through an extremely difficult situation that has spanned 10 years. I have recommended Leonard Gray and will continue to do so.

Tagged solicitor Emily Spencer
Emily was great. She explained the will writing process and the Power of Attorney in a clear and easily understandable way. She kept us appraised of progress at each stage and arranged meetings at suitable times. She was very personable and made us feel at ease during the process. Emily outlined how things would progress and everything followed the outline. We were very happy with both her and Winston's and would be happy to use them again or recommend them to friends.

Tagged solicitor Alexandra Goldrein
I came to Slater Heelies after a disaster with previous solicitor. Alex from the onset was friendly, reassuring, professional but firm. Many times she had to challenge my perspectives and encouraged strength. Alex had an objective approach and was always quick and prompt in replying to emails and calls. Her in depth knowledge was reassuring and was able to relay in a succinct manner that was easy to digest. I felt with Alex’s friendly manner that she always had my best interests at the heart and was extremely reassuring during the whole process which was really appreciated. I would have no hesitation in using her again… but at the same time hope that there would never be a need. Thank you

Cannot speak highly of the team at Rothera Bray Beeston, who helped me along to get my issue resolved. Special mention goes to Jack English, who showed incredible resilience, along with a large dose of patience whilst guiding me along the way, so that the correct result was obtained. Would have no hesitation in recommending this practice for whatever legal service you require. Thank you once more!

Tagged solicitor Sarah Fairbrother
Sarah's advice and support during my divorce process was second to none. She made the entire process feel easy and removed a lot of the stress from me by being the point of contact for the other side to speak to. I would have no reservations in recommending Sarah to anyone else for support with family law.

Tagged solicitor Charlotte Knappett
Charlotte and her team were efficient, compassionate and supported me through a legal event I had little to no understanding or experience about, which was greatly appreciated. Charlotte went above and beyond chasing the opposing solicitors failure to engage with the online court system and acknowledge documents, ensuring ongoing progress of the case and alleviating stress in a difficult time. Charlottes support and advice allowed me to negotiate a court order I was happy with myself, saving significant costs and allowing both parties to achieve an acceptable outcome without excessive cost.

Tagged solicitor Kim Nielsen
Kim Nielson was my solicitor with Hewitts. Without her help in resolving issues with my late wifes family, I would definitely have suffered financially and mentally. There is very little you can do to resolve issues between yourself and someone that just wants to make life very difficult for yourself. This is where you need proffessional help with a very good solicitor. Kim Nielson was that solicitor who certainly gave me all the assistance I needed to resolve as many issues as possible. Unfortunately proffessional help comes at a cost, but sometimes you have to look beyond the expense and get the problem sorted before it or they escalate beyond help. I would always recommend Hewitts Solicitors who employ the best possible help you may need.
