Adoption

If you decide to adopt a child, either in the UK or from overseas, having expert legal advice is key. QualitySolicitors A-Z Law can support you in this highly complex legal area.

The decision to adopt a child starts an involved legal process. There can be many people or bodies involved before the process is complete. Not just you as the prospective adopter, the children’s guardians or birth parents, local authorities, and, of course, the child. Where the child is being adopted from can add complications, and after the adoption, consider matters such as contact with birth relatives. If you object to an adoption, you need to know what to do too.

QualitySolicitors A-Z Law has expert family lawyers who can advise you on the adoption process from all sides. Regardless of where you plan to adopt from, options are explained before any action is taken. We clearly outline timescales, costs and what you should be thinking about at every stage of the adoption process. If you are having a child taken away, we can act for you too. We explain things in plain simple English and make sure you are kept informed throughout. We attend case conferences, at court or negotiate with social workers.

Adoption is a challenging time. To get the best advice, contact us today on 020 8355 0830.

Expert legal advice you can rely on:


Family law

Everyone’s family is unique and yours is no exception. Whether you are living together, you’re married, you’re separated or are going through a relationship breakdown, any change to your family can be stressful and emotionally charged. Turning to an accredited family law specialist can help provide much-needed clarity and assurance in an otherwise challenging period.

Arrangements for children

When a relationship breaks down and children are involved, your main concern will be to protect their wellbeing. So it’s good to know that at QualitySolicitors A-Z Law we make your children our number one priority too.

Debt, care and benefits

Our lawyers know and understand what it feels like to be worried about matters connected to debt, care and benefits. We help you understand what the law is – and how to get the very best outcome whatever your life brings.

Dissolution

When a civil partnership or same sex marriage breaks down, you may decide it’s time to end the relationship and go your separate ways. Just as with divorce, there is a particular legal process for ending a civil partnership - often known as civil partnership dissolution.

Divorce

If you’re thinking about getting a divorce, filing for civil dissolution or you’re going through a relationship breakdown, it is best to get trusted legal advice early. Going through a separation might not be something you expected, and it can raise a lot of questions about living arrangements, child arrangements and any joint finances. Our team of divorce solicitors in Balham understand the challenges you’re facing and will help you review your legal position.

Domestic violence

If you’re in a relationship that isn't working for you, either because you feel threatened or are with a violent or abusive partner, it can be difficult to know where to turn to for help - but it’s important not to suffer in silence. Asking for help is the first step to resolving the situation.

Living together

More and more couples are choosing to live together and share their lives without getting married. And whilst emotionally, you may feel no different to a married couple; under the law, couples that live together without getting married do not share the same legal rights as those who marry. This can make things difficult if the relationship breaks down in the future particularly in regards to finance and property. And if children are involved, it’s important to protect their future too.

Prenuptial agreements

Planning a wedding is an exciting time - and also a time when you start thinking about your long-term future. You’re probably looking forward to a long and happy marriage but it’s also natural to wonder what unexpected twists and turns life might bring.

Separation

Separation is rarely easy, regardless of the length of your relationship. It may sometimes be possible to go your separate ways with little more discussion, but more often than not your lives may have been more intertwined than you thought. As family law experts, our team can help you whether you’re going through a trial separation or you’d like to make the separation permanent.
