The C2 form is used to make a specific request to the court within existing family proceedings. Getting it right is crucial. Our expert family law solicitors ensure your application is drafted correctly, persuasively, and in a way that gives you the best chance of success.
A C2 application is not used to start new proceedings (that's a C100 form). Instead, it is used to ask the court to do something within a case that is already open. Expertly drafting this form is key to getting the court to approve your request.
If you are not a parent (e.g., a grandparent), you must first use a C2 form to ask the court for permission, or 'leave', before you can apply for a main order like a Child Arrangement Order.

Get Expert HelpA C2 form can be used for many other requests, such as asking for a specific direction from the judge, seeking a parental responsibility order, or asking for an expert report to be prepared for the case.

A C2 application is more than just a form; it's a strategic legal document that can significantly alter the course of your case. Our solicitors don't just 'fill in the box'—we meticulously draft the application to present a clear, persuasive, and legally robust argument to the judge.
While the form itself is short, the legal reasoning you put into it is critical. A solicitor ensures you are asking the court for the right thing, citing the correct law, and presenting your request in a way that is persuasive to a judge. An error can lead to rejection, delays, and potentially weaken your position.
A C100 form is used to start brand new court proceedings concerning a child. A C2 form is only used when there are already existing court proceedings, and you need to ask the court to make an additional order or decision within that case.
This depends entirely on what you are asking the court for. It may require a detailed witness statement, school reports, medical records, or other documents. We will provide expert advice on the specific evidence needed to give your application the best chance of success.
Don't risk having your request to the court overlooked or rejected due to a poorly drafted form. Contact our expert family solicitors for professional help with your C2 application.
