Child Arrangements Lawyer in Plymouth

Compassionate Solutions

Spending quality time with both parents should be a fundamental and natural part of a child’s life, but unfortunately, this isn’t always achievable. Various challenges can disrupt this essential connection, leading to situations where the ideal of quality time becomes complicated or strained. In these instances, it’s crucial to find compassionate solutions that restore the opportunity for children to benefit from the nurturing and support of both parents.

Legal Solutions for Your Family

I specialise in navigating the complexities of Child Arrangement Orders to help families find the best solutions for their unique situations. Here’s a brief overview of the options available:

  1. Live With Order: This determines with whom the child will primarily reside. I can assist in creating a structured and supportive living arrangement that serves the best interest of the child.
  2. Spend Time With Order: Formerly known as ‘contact order’, this specifies the time a child will spend with each parent. I guide through negotiating fair and practical scheduling to ensure that both parents remain actively involved in their child’s life.
  3. Specific Issue Order: When parents disagree on a particular aspect of their child’s upbringing (such as schooling or medical treatment), this order resolves such disputes. I provide counsel to present your case effectively, aiming for a resolution that aligns with your child’s best interests.
  4. Prohibited Steps Order: This prevents a parent from making specific decisions about their child’s life without the other parent’s consent, such as moving abroad. I help you understand the implications of this order and represent your concerns legally.


Understanding each of these options and deciding on the right approach can be daunting. I am here to provide expert advice and support, helping you to make informed decisions that protect and benefit your child. Let’s work together to find the best path forward for your family.
