Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Relative Adoption, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Relative Adoption covers legally adopting a child where the prospective adoptive parent is a relative or someone close to the child, in England. A solicitor in this area handles applications to the family court for an adoption order, drafts and negotiates the consent and related welfare reports, prepares the necessary court documents, and liaises with the local authority, adopters, and the child’s birth family. The process is guided by the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and care proceedings when relevant, and results in the transfer of parental rights to the adoptive relative. The work may involve welfare assessments, home studies, and post-adoption matters such as contact arrangements.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decision is the adoption order, which permanently transfers parental rights and responsibilities. A solicitor provides guidance on timing, evidence, and any competing claims, and ensures timetables and court steps are met, with attention to safeguarding and the child’s welfare throughout the process.

Michael Tucker

Tagged solicitor Michael Tucker

Where we were originally turned away by 3 solicitors, Michael gave us a voice. With great determination, has shown immense advocation for our cause. Extremely supportive, communicative, I have been kept informed of any progress and couldn't be any more thankful for the representation he offers. So glad I wasn't put off as I found the best solicitor to represent my need.

Nimalee Bastian-Carter

Tagged solicitor Nimalee Bastian-Carter

I was recommended to Judge and Priestley by a friend. Our situation was extremely difficult, we required a home visit. I thought this would be difficult but the appointment was arranged without any hesitation. The advice we were given was explained in a very helpful and friendly manner, it was very clear which made it easy for us to understand. I would use your services again, and recommend your company to other friends.
