Child Care Solicitors, Warrington

Child Care Proceedings

We provide clear, practical advice to ensure you understand the options available when contact or custody issues arise. A party with parental responsibility for a child under the age of 16 can apply to the Court for a range of matters. This may include a Child Arrangement Order, which determines who the child lives with and how much time they spend with each parent. Such orders often cover term-time schedules, holiday arrangements, birthdays, and other important occasions.

Sometimes parents or guardians cannot agree on decisions relating to parental responsibility, such as changing a child’s school. In these cases, an application can be made to the Court for a Specific Issue Order to resolve the matter. Likewise, if one party attempts to make significant changes without the consent of others who share parental responsibility, the Court can issue a Prohibited Steps Order to prevent the change and ensure the child’s best interests are fully considered.

Our experienced children dispute solicitors in Warrington will work with you to resolve disagreements constructively wherever possible. However, if court proceedings are necessary, we will provide strong representation to protect both your rights and the best interests of the child.
