At Sheryl Perry Solicitors, we understand that family matters can be complex and emotionally challenging. Our dedicated team of family law experts is here to provide comprehensive legal assistance, including assistance with Prohibited Steps Orders.
A Prohibited Steps Order (PSO) is a legal order issued by the court that prohibits a parent from taking certain actions regarding their child without the court’s permission. These orders are typically sought in cases where there are concerns about the welfare or safety of the child.
There are various situations in which a Prohibited Steps Order may be necessary, including:
Preventing Relocation:
If one parent wishes to move with the child to a different city or country, a Prohibited Steps Order may be necessary to prevent this relocation without the court’s permission.
Medical Decisions:
In cases where there is disagreement between parents about medical treatment for the child, a Prohibited Steps Order can ensure that certain medical procedures or treatments are not undertaken without the court’s approval.
Educational Decisions:
If there is a dispute over which school the child should attend or whether they should be homeschooled, a Prohibited Steps Order can prevent one parent from making unilateral decisions about the child’s education.
Preventing Contact:
In cases where there are concerns about the safety or well-being of the child in the presence of a certain individual, such as a relative or family friend, a Prohibited Steps Order can prohibit contact between that individual and the child.
Our experienced family law team is here to guide you through the process of obtaining a Prohibited Steps Order. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and will work tirelessly to protect the best interests of you and your child.
