Prohibited Steps Orders

20 October 2025 | Child Law Services |

It is usually best for your children if you can resolve any disputes with their other parent amicably. However, where you are concerned that the other parent may make a decision about your child without your consent, applying to a Prohibited Steps Order can prevent this.

We can support you with applying to a court for a Prohibited Steps Order, which can stop your child’s other parent from taking actions such as removing your child from the country, changing their name or consenting to medical treatment you do not agree with. This can then buy you time to find a more permanent solution to the conflict.
