Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Parental responsibility, paternity disputes, surrogacy, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Parental responsibility, paternity disputes and surrogacy cover how a child’s welfare is managed when parents, donors or surrogates are involved. In England, solicitors advise on who has parental responsibility, enforce or vary arrangements after separation, challenge or establish paternity, and navigate surrogacy agreements and legal parenthood. A solicitor drafts and reviews orders, applications, and agreements, helps with change of custody or contact, and represents clients in court or in negotiations with the other parent, the surrogate, or the local authority.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The rules around parental responsibility and paternity determine who makes major decisions for a child and who is financially responsible. Surrogacy involves strict regulatory and court oversight to protect the child’s welfare, with orders or records used to establish legal parenthood. A solicitor provides guidance on deadlines, appropriate court routes, and the evidence required to secure or resist orders that affect a child.

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.

Simon Fisher

Tagged solicitor Simon Fisher

Simon and Kerry have been fantastic in such a short space of time. Where I couldn’t see any way forward in a very challenging situation, suddenly it was quickly made possible and I am now looking forward to my and my children’s future. The speed, professionalism, care I have felt working with Simon and Kerry from the start had been incredible. They have worked at my pace, understood my situation personally and have treated me with so much care and attention. I cannot thank you both enough. Stage 1 of the separation is complete. Shortly we will begin the divorce proceedings and I feel nothing but confidence that I am in the best hands at such a difficult time on my life. Cannot thank you both enough. Fantastic team.

Ian Brunt

Tagged solicitor Ian Brunt

I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.
