Child Law

Child Law Solicitors, Alton

When parents separate, disputes may arise about where and with whom a child will live or how much time they will spend with a parent or other person with whom they do not live.

If these arrangements cannot be agreed on, it will be necessary to apply to the court for orders deciding these issues.

We recognise that you only come to us when faced with the most critical decisions in life, and we treat you and those issues with the respect and legal diligence they call for.

To speak to one of our friendly, experienced family lawyers, please call 01420 558336 or email enquiries@bookersandbolton.co.uk.

Solicitors for Child Law Arrangements

At Bookers & Bolton, we have been working with families for many years in Alton, Hampshire and across England and Wales, and offering guidance and support when applying to court for a child arrangements order. A child arrangements order determines:

• Where your child lives;
• When they have contact with their parents; and
• When and what other types of contact can take place until the child is 16 or, in exceptional circumstances, 18.

Child arrangement orders can also help with several other matters, such as:

• Relocation – this is a decision on whether the parent can relocate a child (including both the UK and overseas).
• Grandparents’ rights – this refers to the legal access of the child’s grandparents.
• Specific issues – for example, parental responsibility, education, and upbringing.
• Prohibited Steps Order – resolve a dispute about upbringing, including being taken from you to live elsewhere in England or abroad.
