Child Custody Solicitors

Child Custody Solicitors

Our team provide unrivalled advice and support in relation to arrangements for children post-separation, previously referred to as ‘child custody’.

Child Custody

Deciding on child custody issues can be a complex and emotionally challenging process. If parents cannot agree, we can help negotiate arrangements and, if necessary, prepare your case, and provide representation at court.

Our experienced team of family solicitors specialises in dealing with difficult child custody cases. No two cases are the same, our team will be with you every step of the way ensuring the process reflects your circumstances and the most suitable resolution is found for your family.

Each dispute is handled sensitively, being mindful that this process can be highly emotional for those involved, but always with the child(ren)’s best interests in mind.

How we can help

Child Custody

Deciding on child custody issues can be a complex and emotionally challenging process. If parents cannot agree, we can help negotiate arrangements and, if necessary, prepare your case and provide representation in court.

Parental Responsibility

Mothers automatically receive Parental Responsibility (PR), however, an unmarried father may need to obtain this by law. We will advise you on your parental rights, and what you need to do to acquire PR.

Child Abduction

If a child is removed from a parent without permission, or not returned at a pre-arranged time, it is important that you act quickly to reinstate the child’s pre-agreed routine.

Change of Surname

Where parents cannot agree on whether a child’s name should be changed, an application for a Specific Issue Order can be made. Where a change of name is agreed, our team can draw up a Change of Name Deed for a fixed fee.

Change of School

Whether you are requesting a change of school for your child, looking to prevent this from happening, or are in dispute over which school your child attends, our team will help obtain a Specific Issue Order or a Prohibited Steps Order.

What people say about us

I would highly recommend Walsh Solicitors. Terry is dealing with family & financial matters for me, I’ve never known such kindness and compassion from a legal professional. You can pay for big law firms but none of them will offer the same quality and availability as Walsh Solicitors.
