This area covers how a stepparent can become legally involved in a child’s upbringing, including step-parent adoption, securing parental responsibility, and resolving questions about contact and care when the natural parent remains in the picture. A solicitor helps with applications for parental responsibility, drafting orders, and negotiating arrangements that protect the child’s welfare while clarifying each adult’s roles. It can shape long‑term parenting decisions and a child’s future stability.
The key decisions include appointing or confirming parental responsibility, arranging contact orders, and the potential for step‑parent adoption. A solicitor coordinates evidence for the court, liaises with the local authority when necessary, and guides the case through the family court process, ensuring that orders reflect the child’s best interests and legal rights are respected.

Tagged solicitor Emily Roskilly
I was really grateful to have Emily on my side during my recent separation. We secured a great deal in resolving the dispute with my ex-partner which related to non-equal shares in our home that was owned in joint names without a shareholder agreement.
