How we can help remove conflict from making arrangements for children

20 October 2025 | Child Law Services |

Children, especially those of a young age, may find it hard to come to terms with the separation of their parents and the readjustment of family life. When taking legal action in regard to childcare, professional advice, sensitivity and support are essential.

Wherever possible, Fishers’ child arrangement order (custody) solicitors will encourage you to make arrangements for your children amicably through mediation or negotiation, Using these non-confrontational approaches not only tends to make things easier on you and your children emotionally, but it can also save you a significant amount of time and legal fees compared to court action.

However, from our many years of experience, we know that a voluntary agreement between parents can’t always be achieved and that certain disputes require court proceedings to get the right outcome for you and your children. In these circumstances, we will be by your side each step of the way to ensure the best interests of your children are protected and their needs are met.
