Prohibited Steps Orders: Preventing Harmful Decisions

2 DECEMBER 2025 14:15

A Prohibited Steps Order can stop a parent from taking certain actions without permission—providing vital protection for children when urgent issues arise.

Common issues include:

► A parent threatening to move the child away

► Concerns about the child being taken out of school

► One parent attempting to change the child’s surname

► Disagreements over medical decisions or travel abroad

If you believe a Prohibited Steps Order may be necessary, contact our family law team immediately. Some cases may involve urgent court applications.

We offer a free, confidential initial meeting, and Legal Aid may be available.
