An S37 report, also known as a Section 37 report, is a vital document in family law cases, particularly those involving child custody and welfare. It is a comprehensive report prepared by a court-appointed officer, often a Children and Family Court Advisor (CAFCASS), to assess and provide recommendations regarding the best interests of the child.
Key Points About S37 Reports:
Objective Assessment: The S37 report aims to provide an objective assessment of the child’s welfare, taking into account their physical, emotional, and educational needs.
Interviews and Investigations: The officer conducting the report may interview the child, parents, and other relevant parties, as well as carry out investigations as necessary.
Recommendations: The report typically includes recommendations regarding child custody arrangements, visitation, and other matters related to the child’s well-being.
Court Consideration: The court considers the S37 report when making decisions about child custody and welfare. The recommendations can significantly influence the final court order.

General Quesitons
S37 reports are typically ordered by the court when there are concerns about a child’s welfare or when disputes regarding child custody and welfare require an independent assessment.
S37 reports are usually conducted by court-appointed officers, often CAFCASS officers. These professionals are trained to assess and make recommendations about the best interests of the child.
The timeframe for receiving an S37 report can vary based on the complexity of the case and the availability of the court-appointed officer. It may take several weeks to a few months.
Yes, it is possible to challenge the findings and recommendations of an S37 report in court. Our solicitors can provide guidance on how to do so effectively.
Wildings Solicitors offers expert legal guidance and representation in family law cases, including those involving S37 reports. We can help you understand the implications of the report, advocate for your interests, and ensure that the court considers all relevant factors when making decisions about child custody and welfare.
While legal representation is not mandatory, having a solicitor by your side is highly advisable. Solicitors can ensure that your rights are protected, provide guidance on dealing with S37 reports, and help you make informed decisions throughout the legal process.
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.
