At Citywide Solicitors, our dedicated family law team represents the interests of parents, grandparents, and various other family members in a wide array of child-related disputes. We handle everything from straightforward agreements that nurture cooperation and understanding, to complex, high-conflict cases that may involve intense legal challenges and require careful navigation.
Child arrangements (who the child lives with and the time they spend with each parent).
Specific issue orders (for example, which school a child attends or medical decisions).
Prohibited steps orders (preventing a parent from taking certain actions, such as relocating without consent).
Relocation within the UK or abroad, including applications to take a child overseas.
Cases involving allegations of abuse, neglect or risk of harm.
Grandparents’ and other relatives’ applications for contact or to care for a child.
Our aim is to resolve issues as quickly and constructively as possible, reducing conflict while protecting your parental rights.
