Look for a family solicitor in Cardiff with experience in child arrangements cases, including disputes about where a child lives and when they spend time with each parent. Check that the solicitor is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), then ask about their experience, likely timescales, fees and whether mediation may be suitable. Some people may qualify for legal aid, depending on their circumstances and the nature of the case; eligibility can be checked on GOV.UK. If there are concerns about abuse or a child’s safety, explain these promptly to a regulated solicitor.
