Our Child Custody Offering

Determining the arrangements for your child following a separation can be complex and emotionally difficult. Our priority is to guide our clients through every stage of this process and solve any issues as smoothly as possible. With years of experience, our lawyers can deliver life-changing outcomes for our clients.

The term custody is no longer used by the Family Court, reflecting a shift towards a child-focused approach and removing the idea that one parent can win. Now, the court will provide a child arrangements order, which sets out the important issues that need to be determined following a couples separation. Our expert team of lawyers provide specialist advice on all disputes regarding child arrangements, including issues such as:

  • Which parent the child should live with
  • How often the child should see each parent
  • Whether a parent can relocate with the child

Our team is well-placed to assist with disputes with an international element, including cases involving parents who live in different jurisdictions, parents wishing to move abroad with the child, and parental child abduction. The Head of our Children Team in Manchester, Lucy Bolton, is recognized for her expertise in this complex area of law. Lucy is listed as a specialist lawyer by Reunite International, the leading UK charity specialising in international parent child abduction and the movement of children across international borders.

As well as child arrangement orders, our solicitors can help you obtain other key orders related to your childs upbringing:

  • Specific issue order - a court order determining a specific issue concerning a childs upbringing, such as what school they should attend.
  • Prohibited steps order - a court order preventing a parent from making a certain decision about the childs upbringing, such as relocating the child.
