 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr Mahmood from Wildings Solicitors for the purchase of my home, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. He was incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant, and helpful throughout the entire process. They ensured everything went smoothly and kept me informed every step of the way. Their dedication and professionalism made a significant difference, and I am extremely grateful for their hard work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Farzana, the receptionist, was exceptionally efficient and friendly. Soyod, our solicitor, dealt with what needed to be done in a timely fashion and made sure we had copies of what had been completed. I was very pleased with the service and will use this branch again for future needs.

Understanding Child Custody in the UK

While many people still use the term "child custody," UK law now refers to 'Child Arrangement Orders'. This change was made to reduce conflict and focus on what is best for the child. An order can formally set out where a child lives and who they spend time with.

Our Child Custody & Arrangement Services

Our family custody lawyers provide expert advice on every aspect of your child's future, from straightforward agreements to complex disputes.

Child Arrangement Orders

We help you negotiate and formalise arrangements for your child, covering everything from day-to-day care to holiday contact.

Arrange a Consultation

Sole & Joint Custody

We provide clear advice on seeking sole custody (a 'live with' order to one parent) or formalising a joint or shared care arrangement.

Discuss Your Options

Complex Cases

We have specialist experience in difficult cases, including those involving a narcissistic parent or concerns about alcohol or drug use.

Common Child Custody Questions

Can I get "full custody" of my child in the UK?

The court can grant a 'live with' order to one parent, which is what most people mean by sole custody. However, this is only awarded if it's proven to be in the child's best interests. The court's usual starting point is that a child benefits from a relationship with both parents.

What are my parental rights if I am not married?

Mothers automatically have Parental Responsibility. Fathers have it automatically if they were married to the mother or are named on the birth certificate (after December 2003). We can help you secure your parental rights if you don't have them automatically.

Do I have to go to court to sort out custody?

No, and it is actively encouraged that you don't. The vast majority of parents reach an agreement directly, through solicitors, or with the help of a mediator. A court application is the last resort when all other attempts to agree have failed.
