Parental responsibilities covers who has the main rights and duties in a child’s upbringing, including decision-making about education, health, and day-to-day care, and how these responsibilities are shared or allocated between parents. A solicitor in this area handles applications for or variations to parental responsibility, prepares and negotiates agreements, advocates in family courts, and advises on consent to key actions such as schooling, medical treatment, and passport arrangements. The process often depends on the family’s circumstances, including separation, remarriage, or disputes about care and contact.
The work involves securing or adjusting a parent’s legal status to make or veto major decisions affecting the child, with consequences if an agreement or order is not in place, such as disputes that may affect living arrangements or consent to essential actions. A solicitor provides guidance on options, drafts applications or orders, and represents clients in court or negotiations to protect a child’s welfare and ensure enforceable arrangements.

I have dealt with Isabel Elliott on a few occasions with both probate and problems following my daughter’s divorce and the need for various papers. I found her very approachable and so helpful. I would also recommend her associate Emily Redlick.

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.
