Child custody battles can be long and stressful for parents. It may take months to reach a better outcome for your child. We’re here to change that. At McKenzie Friends, we understand the real struggles you’re up against and provide the support you need—without the high legal costs.
A Child Arrangements Order sets out where your child lives and who they spend time with. This will help establish a stable routine for your child and ensure both parents have a clear role. Facing contact issues? Our McKenzie Friends guide you through every step—from forms to court—to help you secure the time you deserve with your child.
When parents can’t agree on particular aspects of their child’s upbringing, like education, medical treatment, or religious practices, a Specific Issue Order provides the court’s decision. Our team will assist you in presenting your case clearly, making sure your concerns are thoroughly considered.
If you’re worried your co-parent might make major decisions, like relocating your child, without consulting you, a Prohibited Steps Order can legally prevent this. We’ll help you file this order to protect your parental rights and make sure all important decisions about your child involve your input. Our team can assist you with the C100 form and offer guidance throughout the court process.
Parental Responsibility (PR) will get you parent legal rights and duties, including decisions on the child’s welfare, education, and medical treatment. If you lack PR, you can apply for this order to gain equal say in your child’s life. We’ll guide you through the PR order application, helping you secure the involvement you deserve.
If a parent isn’t complying with a Child Arrangements Order, an Enforcement Order can legally compel them to follow it. We’ll guide you through each step of the enforcement process, ensuring your rights—and your child’s routine—are fully respected and protected.
If you or your co-parent want to move your child out of England and Wales, a Removal from Jurisdiction Order is required, whether the move is temporary or permanent. Leaving without permission could lead to serious legal consequences. Our team will guide you through the necessary legal steps to ensure compliance, helping you avoid any legal repercussions.
