What is Sole Child Custody?

Sole child custody, also known as full custody, means that one parent has exclusive legal and physical custody of the child. In these cases, the child resides primarily with one parent, who has the authority to make decisions regarding the child’s upbringing, education, healthcare, and other aspects of their life.

How to Get Full Custody of Your Child

Seeking sole custody is a significant legal step and involves a complex legal process. Here are the steps and factors involved:

  1. Consultation: Begin by consulting with an experienced family law solicitor at Wildings Solicitors. We will assess your case and provide you with expert advice on the best approach to achieve sole custody.

  2. Legal Petition: File a legal petition with the family court, outlining your reasons for seeking sole custody and providing supporting evidence.

  3. Evidence Gathering: Collect compelling evidence that demonstrates your ability to provide a stable and nurturing environment for your child. This may include witness statements, character references, and documentation of your child’s best interests.

  4. Negotiation and Mediation: In some cases, amicable solutions can be reached through negotiation and mediation. We aim to prioritize your child’s well-being and work towards mutually agreeable arrangements with the other parent.

  5. Court Representation: If an agreement cannot be reached, we will represent you in family court, advocating for your parental rights and the best interests of your child.

Questions You Might Have

General Quesitons

Our family lawyer at Wildings has a wealth of knowledge in family law matters ranging from a wide variety of areas. With years of experience, our family lawyer understands that empathy takes priority in such matters and therefore provides first-class service to all clients.

Divorces are taking approximately six months until the Final Order is granted. However, this would be dependent on if there was an ongoing financial matter in conjunction with the divorce. In such cases, it may take slightly longer as the Final Order will be applied for upon receipt of the Financial Order.

The use of a solicitor eliminates the emotional stress involved in family matters. Our friendly and professional family team is available to alleviate such pressures and will therefore work closely with you whilst offering you the best service.

Under the new divorce law it would be worthwhile to consider if a single application should be made or should a joint application be made. Joint applications can be made by both parties where there is amicability.  In joint applications, both parties have the option to split the costs involved the same.

No. Since the introduction of a ‘non-fault’ divorce in April 2022, the obligation to apply under the previous five criteria no longer exists. This concept has been initiated by Courts in order to promote amicability between parties. There is also now an option to make a ‘joint’ application for divorce. Our specialist family solicitor at Wildings is happy to provide a non-obligation 30-minute consultation.

As you will be cohabiting, cohabitation laws will apply under such circumstances. In such cases, we would advise parties to enter into a cohabitation agreement, outlining what the outcome could be should your relationship come to an end.

Unfortunately, the UK does not recognise a Nikkah as a legal marriage in the UK. Speak with our family lawyer today to establish if you are eligible to make a claim under the Trustees and Land of Appointments and Trustees Act.

Financial Related

The process for negotiating a financial settlement can be done in two ways. Firstly, if financial matters are agreed upon between both parties a finance consent order can then be drafted and filed with the court alongside the relevant paperwork.

On the other hand, if matters are not agreed upon between parties and where there is a financial dispute regarding assets and finances, it would then be recommended to go through the court process of obtaining a financial order. This process is generally quite lengthy and consists of financial hearings and full financial disclosure from both parties. Once a settlement is agreed a final order will then be granted.

If Children Involved

If you have a genuine fear that your ex-partner will not return the children back to you or the UK where they are usually resident, we will make an emergency application with the Family Courts for a Prohibited Steps Order.

Unfortunately, grandparents do not have parental rights and therefore an application needs to be made to the court initially. You will need to ask the court for permission to make an application for contact under Form C100. Our team is on hand to support you through such cases.

If you have parental responsibility, our family team can make an application to the family courts requesting a contact arrangement.

Here at Wildings, we would guide you through the process, whilst ensuring that we obtain the best and most effective result for you.

In such cases, we would initially recommend mediation. Should matters continue to not be resolved, we would then advise you on what application should be made to the court to finalise arrangements.

About Your Safety

If you are in fear for your safety or have experienced either physical, verbal, emotional, or psychological abuse, control, coercion, harassment or threatening behaviour, we are able to make an ex-parte non-molestation order to protect you from the forms of harassment above.  Should there be an occupational dispute concerning property, we are also able to make an application for an occupation order.

It is essential for us to give you right guidance, please do not delay to take the first step and contact us!
