What does children law involve?

Child custody and arrangements: Establishing where a child will live and determining contact or visitation schedules between parents or guardians, ensuring decisions are made with the child’s best interests at heart.
Parental responsibility: Defining and assigning the legal rights and responsibilities of parents or guardians, including decision-making over education, healthcare, and overall welfare.
Child support and maintenance: Arranging financial support to cover the child’s living expenses, education, and healthcare needs following separation or divorce.
Adoption and surrogacy: Facilitating legal processes to adopt a child or establish parental rights through surrogacy, ensuring that all legal criteria and safeguards are met.
Dispute resolution: Resolving conflicts over custody, contact, or support arrangements through mediation or, if necessary, family court proceedings.
Child welfare and protection: Ensuring that in cases of abuse or neglect, legal measures are taken to safeguard the child’s well-being and secure appropriate protective orders.

How can a solicitor help with children law matters, and what does it cost?

Provide tailored legal advice: Evaluating your family circumstances to explain your rights and guide you through decisions related to custody, parental responsibility, and financial support.
Draft and review legal documents: Preparing applications for child arrangements orders, consent orders, and parental responsibility agreements to ensure compliance with legal standards.
Negotiate and mediate: Facilitating negotiations between parties to reach mutually acceptable agreements, often avoiding the need for lengthy court proceedings.
Represent you in court: Advocating on your behalf in family court to resolve disputes over child arrangements or parental responsibilities when an out-of-court settlement isn’t possible.
Guide you through the legal process: Explaining each step of the process, required evidence, and potential outcomes to help you navigate complex children law matters confidently.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of your case and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, with many firms offering fixed-fee packages for straightforward cases, such as drafting consent orders or negotiating custody agreements. An initial consultation—often free or available at a reduced rate—will help you understand your legal position, estimate likely expenses, and determine the best approach to protect your child’s welfare and secure a favourable outcome.
