Appointments

Mother and child walking together outdoors – family law appointments and child-focused legal support.

At Children in the Middle, we know how important it is to receive the right legal advice at the right time. A family law appointment with one of our specialist barristers gives you practical, child focused legal advice and support tailored to your unique situation.

Whether you’re navigating separation, parenting arrangements, or preparing for mediation or court, our direct access barristers are here to help. You can speak directly with a specialist who understands the complexities of family law and will guide you with honesty and expertise.

What We Can Help With

During your appointment, we can advise you on:

  • Parenting plans and shared care arrangements.
  • Agreeing child arrangements without going to court.
  • Legal advice before or between mediation sessions.
  • Pre-court guidance and strategy.
  • Advice during ongoing court proceedings.

We focus on helping you make informed decisions that are in the best interests of your children and your family.

Simple, Transparent Fees

We charge a fixed fee for each appointment or piece of work. All fees are paid in advance, so you stay in control of your budget and the level of support you receive — no hourly rates, no hidden costs.

Flexible Online Appointments

Most family law appointments are conducted via Microsoft Teams, making it easy and convenient to access expert legal advice from the comfort of your home.

When Should You Book?

We recommend booking a family law appointment as early as possible — especially if you’re involved in family court proceedings. Early legal advice can help you avoid common pitfalls and ensure you focus on the key legal issues that matter most to your case.
