Child Arrangement Orders: Direct Access Barristers
When parents separate, ensuring the best arrangements for children can be challenging and emotionally demanding.
While many parents can agree on arrangements amicably, disputes that require legal intervention can sometimes arise.
If mediation has not been successful, applying to the court for a Child Arrangement Order may be necessary.
At Barristers First, we provide expert direct access family law barristers who can advise, assist, and represent you throughout this process.
Direct Access Barrister services are cost-effective, transparent, and instructing a barrister gives you the best possible chance of a favourable outcome.
