Excellent

Solicitors for special guardianship orders

The UK’s largest law firm dedicated to family matters
Offering a tailored, empathetic approach to support your circumstances
Proud to be rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot

Sometimes there is a crisis in the family home, and it is necessary for the children to be looked after by someone else, often a close friend or family member.

In most cases, this is for a short time; in others, a more permanent solution is needed. At this point, a Special Guardianship Order (SGO) may be considered.

Applying for an SGO is a big decision, and it’s important to get the right information and support before deciding to apply.

Our experienced child law solicitors offer clear, sound legal advice on SGOs and can talk you through the considerations you need to make before deciding if this is the correct order for you and the child.

We will help you to obtain a Special Guardianship assessment, draft the application to the court and attend the court hearings that follow.

Special Guardianship Orders - Stowe Family Law

How to apply for a special guardianship order?

You will need to go through an assessment programme by your local authority’s children’s services department to ensure that an SGO is in the child’s best interests. They will investigate and prepare a report for the court.

You can make an application for an order here and a supporting statement here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-c13a-supplement-for-an-application-for-a-special-guardianship-order

However, the laws surrounding SGOs are complex, and we strongly recommend that you seek legal advice
