If your child is in the temporary custody of the other parent or social services, we know how distressing this can be. Our expert child law solicitors are specialists in these urgent cases, and we can help you build the strongest possible case to bring your child home.
A temporary or 'interim' custody order is made when the court has concerns about a child's welfare. To get your child back, you must prove to the judge that any concerns have been fully addressed and that it is now in your child's best interests to return to your care. Our role is to help you do exactly that.
The first step is to understand exactly why the temporary order was made. We meticulously review the court's judgment and help you create a clear action plan to address every single concern raised.
Get a Case ReviewWe help you build a powerful portfolio of positive evidence to show your progress. This can include reports from support services, proof of stable housing, and positive feedback from school or health visitors.
Build Your EvidenceWhen the evidence is ready, we make a formal application to the court to vary the existing order and ask for your child to be returned to your full-time care. We will represent you robustly at the hearing.
Start Your Application
We understand that good parents can find themselves in difficult situations. Our approach is never to judge, but to provide a clear, practical legal strategy. We focus on positive change and presenting a compelling, evidence-based case to the court that demonstrates your commitment and ability to provide a safe and loving home.
A judge will only make an Interim Care Order (to social services) or an interim 'live with' order (to the other parent) if they have heard evidence that suggests a child may be at risk of harm in their current situation. The order is temporary to allow time for a full investigation.
The court's main concern is your child's welfare *now* and in the future. While past events are relevant, the judge will be most interested in the positive changes you have made and the evidence you can provide to show you are now able to provide safe and stable care for your child.
Evidence that directly addresses the court's original concerns is most powerful. This could be a certificate from a completed course (like anger management or a parenting class), clean drug and alcohol test results, or a report from a support worker confirming your positive progress.
We understand how much you want your child back. Contact our expert family solicitors for a confidential, non-judgmental consultation about your case.
