    Adoption

    If you decide to adopt a child, either in the UK or from overseas, having expert legal advice is key. QualitySolicitors 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, consideration needs to be given to matters such as contact with birth relatives. If you object to an adoption, you need to know what to do too.

    QualitySolicitors 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 01446 411 000.

    Expert legal advice you can rely on:


    Family law

    In today’s modern world there is no such thing as an ‘average’ family or ‘normal’ relationship. You may be married, living together, or separated. Children, step-children or adopted children are perhaps living with you or living elsewhere. Grandparents or other family members could also be involved. Whatever your situation, relationships can sometimes break down and that’s when turning to a family solicitor can really help you to resolve difficulties quickly.

    Adoption

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

    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 we make your children our number one priority too.

    Change of name

    If you decide to change your name, QualitySolicitors can help you to do this legally and properly.

    Divorce

    If you are at the stage of thinking about divorce or dissolution of civil partnership and wanting some initial advice or looking to progress the decision more formally, QualitySolicitors J A Hughes is here to help.

    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 regard to finance and property and if children are involved, it’s important to protect their future too.
