Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Parental Order, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

A Parental Order transfers legal parenthood to the intended parents in a surrogacy arrangement, allowing them to become the child’s legal parents. A solicitor in this area helps prepare and file the formal application to the Family Court, gather required evidence, obtain consent from the surrogate, and coordinate with social services and the court. They also attend hearings, manage any support orders, and ensure the order is made within the statutory window so parental rights pass to the intended parents.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The order matters because it replaces the surrogate’s parental rights with those of the intended parents, enabling them to make long-term decisions for the child, including custody, schooling, and medical consent. The process is time-sensitive: an application must usually be made within six months of the child’s birth, and delays can affect eligibility and finalisation.

I was going through divorve and having a hard time with solicitors from the other arty. Paris Smith helped cut through the unecessary noise and back my corner. I was having daily panic attacks and waiting weeks for replies from the other firm, only to have to repeat myself. The proocess still tookj far longer than I imagined but I dont feel this was because of my firm, as they dealt with my replies promptly and chased the other firm to wrap things up.

Ajantha Brabaharan

Tagged solicitor Ajantha Brabaharan

Ajantha handled my FLR(M) application as an unmarried partner, and from the moment she took it on she went through everything with me point by point. Nothing was assumed and nothing was left for me to guess at. Every time I contacted her she came back quickly, and the answers were never generic. I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in the US and in Korea over the years, and what stood out here was that she responded to my actual situation rather than reciting the rules back at me. When something was unclear she told me what it meant for me specifically. There were several points where the online system threw errors, and more than a few where the problem was simply my own mistake. I know I made her job harder than it needed to be. She never once let it show. She stayed calm, told me what to do next, and made sure I did not panic about any of it. On more than one occasion she was still helping me well outside office hours. When the decision came through she let me know straight away, before anyone else, and she sounded as pleased about it as I was. That is not something I expected from a solicitor, and after months of waiting it meant a great deal. English is not my first language and immigration rules are hard to follow even in plain English. Ajantha made the whole thing manageable. I will be applying for an extension in a few years and I would not consider going to anyone else. Sincere thank you for everything, Ajantha.

I want to say a massive thank you to Sam Bushell, Jo Foster and the whole team at BTR for their commitment to ensuring my mums divorce case was handled professionally and effectively.

I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful lawyer at BWK; sensitive, tenacious and knowledgeable. She was also careful to minimise the cost of her time. I would not hesitate to use BWK again.

Ian Spender

Tagged solicitor Ian Spender

Mr Spender came to our home, as my husband and I found great difficulty in climbing the stairs to his office. He took great trouble in explaining the Lasting Power of Attorney to us. I was able to read the forms, but my husband, who has Macular Degeneration could not. Mr Spender spent time and effort in reading the forms to him. In fact, nothing was too much trouble for Mr Spender, who put us both at ease. I highly recommend Mr Spender for his professionalism and his genuine concern for our welfare.

Melanie Bridgen

Tagged solicitor Melanie Bridgen

I contacted Melanie Bridgen from Nelsons Solicitors in Derby for advice in child arrangement. Her knowledge was more than I could ask for. She helped me through every concern I had and with her colleague Melanie Theakstone put together my wishes, contacted my ex, made sure that everything I legally wanted it was written down as clear for the court application as possible. They followed my case through CAFCASS and the final court order. Mrs. Bridgen had straight questions, and answers to everything. They took the process of my shoulder, and in 2 months I have received the final order from court (with Christmas included). I cannot be more thankful for their job and knowledge.

We had a relatively complex Powers of Attorney requirement which was completed in an efficient and accurate way. We were kept up to date with all the progress, and the process was explained to us in a clear and timely fashion.
