Child Law Solicitors
When a marriage breaks down and there are children involved, it’s important that their best interests are protected by the parents. Informal arrangements can be drawn up, but can also be easily broken, and formal arrangements must be sanctioned by the family court. Our child law solicitors in Brighton and Hove offer objective advice on your children and will push for fair child arrangements.
Our expertise covers:
Child Arrangement Orders
Child arrangement orders dictate where a child lives and who they will spend time with. They last until the child is 16. Our child law solicitors will ensure any child arrangement orders cause minimal disruption to your child’s daily life and emotions.
Child Maintenance Agreements
When money rears its ugly head, things can get personal. Our child law solicitors will ensure emotions are set to one side and objectivity prevails to get your children the upkeep they need. We can help with informal child maintenance agreements, applications to the Child Maintenance Service, and drafting court orders.
Parental Responsibility
If a marriage breaks down because of infidelity, children can be used as a weapon to hurt ex-partners. This should never be the case, and we our child law solicitors will always seek to give parental responsibility to the parent the child needs most and who is most responsible.
Child Custody Issues
So you have a child arrangement order in place, but your partner is refusing to follow it and it’s causing you concern. Our child law solicitors understand children are precious and will help you enforce the terms of your child arrangement order to resolve any child custody issues.
Prohibited Steps Orders
Prohibited steps orders prevent a parent from doing certain things as set out by the order. This could include removing a child from their school, taking them out of the country or changing their name if your partner remarries. Our child law solicitors can advise and draft all forms of prohibited steps orders.
Specific Issue Orders
Specific issue orders determine specific aspects of a child’s life that the parents cannot agree on and can be made with or without a child arrangement order. Our child law solicitors will draft a comprehensive specific issue order if needed.

Child Law Explained
Whether in the midst of a divorce or post-divorce, you may face issues around child responsibilities, payment or their welfare. Child law aims to separate any conflict between parents from the best interests of the children to protect them. Our expert child law solicitors are based in Brighton and Hove and will always push to get your children what’s right.
What Is Child Law?
Child law predominantly deals with what happens to children following on from a divorce, but it also covers children in the event of abuse or any other situation that endangers a child. In the case of divorce, if parents separate amicably, there is normally no need to get solicitors involved as both parents can make informal arrangements for the benefit of their children.
However, if the marriage ends badly, some parents will try to deprive the other parent of seeing their child by using them as a weapon, often to the detriment of the child. In these cases, our child law solicitors can draft applications for court orders to protect your child.
Why Use a Solicitor for Child Law?
The family courts are predominantly interested in the welfare of children and any spats between the parents are typically ignored, unless they involve violence. It can be difficult to see beyond these emotions when going through a divorce, which is where a child law solicitor can be useful. Our child law solicitors will look at your case objectively and advise you on your chances of getting the outcome you want.
How Much Do Child Law Matters Cost?
This is highly dependent on what you are looking to achieve and how complex your matter is. Our child law solicitors will always give you an estimate of fees involved at your initial consultation, and consult you if any disbursements are required.
