Disagreements between parents or guardians about a child’s upbringing can be difficult, and sometimes urgent legal action is needed. A Prohibited Steps Order (PSO) Maidenhead can prevent one parent from making important decisions about a child without the court’s consent.
What is a Prohibited Steps Order?
A Prohibited Steps Order is made under the Children Act 1989. It restricts a parent or guardian from carrying out a specific action relating to a child’s welfare. Examples include stopping a parent from moving a child abroad, changing schools, altering their surname, or making medical decisions without agreement.
The court’s focus is always the best interests of the child.
