At BWS Law, we understand the complexities and emotional challenges involved in child arrangement disputes. Our dedicated team, led by experienced legal professionals, is here to provide you with compassionate and effective legal support.
Our Solicitors will provide you with expert advice on the legal options available.
From the outset we will discuss with you whether it is possible to resolve matters amicably, which can sometimes involve corresponding with the other parent for you, working with both of you to reach a solution and often preparing a parenting plan. Often this prevents the need for Court proceedings, which can be stressful and more costly.
We work closely with other family law professionals including reputable mediators who we can refer you to, to try and resolve matters that way.
If an agreement is reached, our team will help you to get it formalised into a court order so that it is binding.
If necessary, our specialist team will guide you through the process of applying for a Child Arrangements Order, in circumstances where it has not been possible to reach an agreement, or where there are safeguarding issues that need to be addressed by the Court. We will assist you in drafting the necessary legal documents and applications to ensure they are correctly completed and submitted to the court. At Court, we will represent you, presenting your case effectively to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your child/ren.
A Child Arrangements Order is a legal order under the Children Act 1989 that sets out the arrangements for the care of a child. This includes determining with whom a child is to live, spend time, or otherwise have contact, and when a child is to live, spend time, or otherwise have contact with any person, incl. These orders are crucial in ensuring that the child’s welfare is prioritised and that their living and contact arrangements are clearly defined.
