Caring, smart child custody and children law services at a cost effective rate.
Children Custody Solicitors
It is widely accepted that children suffer the most when a relationship breaks down which is why it’s important to have an arrangement in place when you separate.
During an already sensitive time, resolving and agreeing to an arrangement about which parent the children should live with and if one parent moves out of the family home, then how much time the children should spend with that parent, are often extremely difficult. International travel being more accessible, families are increasingly moving abroad and a decision about relocation of a child may need to be made. Within that, there may be a fear by one parent of a child being removed from their care by the other parent either within or outside the UK.
In other circumstances, an individual caring or looking after a child may want to formally adopt him/her. Or, if a child is born to unmarried parents, then one parent may not be so entitled to make decisions concerning that child if they do not have Parental Responsibility which will then need to be ‘acquired’.
How can Freeman Harris Solicitors help with child law matter?
Any decision relating to a child of the family is likely to create animosity and resentment between the parents especially if there are in disagreement. Our solicitors at Freeman Harris can advise you on the best choices for you. We encourage the use of family mediation as a non- intrusive method of alternative dispute resolution and will keep in touch with you throughout the process. Should mediation prove unsuccessful, we can assist and represent you in any court applications that are necessary.
It is very difficult if not impossible to predict how long a matter concerning the children can take to resolve. Our fees are charged on an hourly rate and we will give you a cost estimate at the outset of your instructions.

Children Law Solicitors focus their practice on legal issues related to children including decisions about living arrangements and parental contact while protecting children’s welfare throughout disputes and care proceedings. Freeman Harris solicitors deliver expert advice while representing clients in court and they work to find amicable solutions whenever possible.
- What Is The Right Time To Seek Legal Counsel Regarding Child Arrangement Disagreements?
As soon as disagreements about child arrangements emerge, especially when mediation is unsuccessful or the situation includes safeguarding matters, consulting a solicitor becomes essential. By seeking legal advice early you will gain clarity about your rights and choices and maintain a focus on protecting your child’s welfare.
- Can Grandparents Apply For Contact With Grandchildren?
Grandparents have the right to request a court order for contact when they face denial of access to their grandchildren. Although the court will evaluate grandparents’ applications for contact with their grandchildren, the decision depends on the child’s welfare and the potential benefits of contact for their best interests.
