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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

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.
