Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Residence (Including Relocation Issues), Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers where a child should live and how living arrangements can change, including applications to relocate. A solicitor handles applications for and defenses against relocation, often within the framework of the Children Act 1989, and seeks orders that set where the child will primarily reside while balancing the rights and needs of both parents. It can also involve mediation, evidence gathering, and representing the client in court if agreement cannot be reached.

Where a solicitor protects your position

Relocation decisions can have long-lasting consequences for a child. A solicitor provides guidance on the risks and deadlines, prepares and presents evidence, drafts statements, negotiates with the other party, and, if necessary, represents the client in family courts to obtain or resist a relocation order.

Emily Spencer

Tagged solicitor Emily Spencer

Emily was great. She explained the will writing process and the Power of Attorney in a clear and easily understandable way. She kept us appraised of progress at each stage and arranged meetings at suitable times. She was very personable and made us feel at ease during the process. Emily outlined how things would progress and everything followed the outline. We were very happy with both her and Winston's and would be happy to use them again or recommend them to friends.

Debra Taylor

Tagged solicitor Debra Taylor

I was absolutely dreading having to go through/deal with my divorce, but my solicitor Debra Taylor from Richard Reed Solicitors was my saviour. She guided and helped me through the procedures and reassured me when I needed it. Her competence in dealing with everything was second to none and gave me the courage to "cross the finish line". I cannot thank her enough. She made something so hard to do, become bearable. Secretary Danielle was also brilliant in relaying information.

Claire Thomas

Tagged solicitor Claire Thomas

I’m delighted to share my experience with Claire of Scullions in my child residency case. After parting ways with two previous solicitors who charged exorbitant fees and showed little genuine interest in my case, I was feeling disheartened. Then I found Claire, and it’s been a game-changer. From the start, she’s been incredibly supportive, attentive, and fully committed to my cause. She’s made me feel like she’s truly in my corner, fighting for what’s best for me and my child. Her dedication and empathy have given me confidence throughout this challenging process, and I couldn’t be happier with her representation. Highly recommend!

Cannot speak highly of the team at Rothera Bray Beeston, who helped me along to get my issue resolved. Special mention goes to Jack English, who showed incredible resilience, along with a large dose of patience whilst guiding me along the way, so that the correct result was obtained. Would have no hesitation in recommending this practice for whatever legal service you require. Thank you once more!

Sarah Fairbrother

Tagged solicitor Sarah Fairbrother

Sarah's advice and support during my divorce process was second to none. She made the entire process feel easy and removed a lot of the stress from me by being the point of contact for the other side to speak to. I would have no reservations in recommending Sarah to anyone else for support with family law.

Gill Carr

Tagged solicitor Gill Carr

Gill assisted me in a extremely complex non accidental injury case. I was assisted by Gill, her paralegal Bilal Rasool and her secretary Christine Brown. The service provided by all of them was exceptional. The situation I was going through I can honestly say was the hardest thing I have had to go through in my life and the care, guidance, compassion and support provided by Gill was the sole reason I got through it. The breadth and knowledge Gill has is incredible. She was able to guide and advise me on extremely complex matters, and do so in a manner that was not only clear and concise but was easy for me to understand. She is patient and willing to take the time to explain or go over things if I was not sure. With family matters such as this one, the emotional toll was huge and Gill was acutely aware of this. She understood that when stress was high providing timely information was key and she would always ensure she answered my many questions as soon as she could, and if she was busy Bilal or Christine would always contact me back and either help when they could or let me know when Gill could get back in touch. I often had many questions and concerns that I wanted answers to, or to try and understand and every time Gill would be there to support me and answer them, no matter how small. I felt like Gill is not just a professional I was paying for, but someone who truly cared about me and my case and wanted to do all she could to try and help me get the best outcome. She was tireless in her commitment to me and my case and even though unfortunately we did not have the best outcome I can rest knowing that Gill did everything she could to assist me. Gill truly is not only an incredible solicitor who I would recommend to all but an amazing, kind, compassionate person who I am so grateful to have had by my side.

Claire Higham

Tagged solicitor Claire Higham

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional dedication, commitment and expertise that Claire brought to my case as she fought tirelessly to prevent the relocation of my two boys. From our very first consultation, Claire demonstrated an acute understanding of the delicate balance between the legal framework and the very human concerns and upset that I was experiencing. Even though the relocation is going in favour of my ex wife, Claire’s unwavering commitment and professionalism throughout the process were nothing short of extraordinary. Claire immersed herself in every aspect of my situation. She took the time to truly listen to my fears about the uprooting of my sons from their school, friends, and support networks. Her empathy immediately put me at ease. She asked thoughtful questions about the boys’ routines, their relationships with both parents, and the practical challenges of maintaining stability and contact if the relocation was to happen. What sets Claire apart is not just her legal acumen, but her genuine care for her clients. Between hearings and communications with my ex-wife's legal team, she checked in regularly by phone and email, to update me on developments and to offer perspective on next steps. Whenever I felt discouraged, her optimism and thoughtful reassurance reminded me that I was not alone in this life changing event. In the end, while the decision did not align with our hopes, I remain profoundly grateful to Claire. She provided me with clarity, confidence, and the absolute assurance that every possible avenue had been explored on behalf of my boys. And even if we delayed the inevitable, it bought me an additional 18 months of precious time and memories with my boys, which I see as a gift provided for by Claire, of which I will be forever indebted. I wholeheartedly and without a single second of doubt would recommend Claire, her blend of strategic insight, compassionate support, and unshakeable professionalism makes her an outstanding solicitor and person of support in even the most difficult of circumstances.
