Child arrangements FAQs
How are arrangements for children decided?
The child’s welfare comes first. Most parents agree where the children live and how they spend time with each parent, often with support from solicitors or a mediator. Where that is not possible, the court can make a child arrangements order.
What is a child arrangements order?
It is a court order that sets out where your children live and how they spend time with each parent. Most parents never need one because they agree, but where agreement is not possible the court can decide, always putting the children’s welfare first.
Can arrangements be changed later?
Yes. As children grow and circumstances change, arrangements often need to change too. We can help you agree a variation, or apply to the court to vary an existing order if necessary.
Do grandparents have any rights?
Grandparents do not have automatic rights, but they can apply for permission to seek a child arrangements order to spend time with their grandchildren. We can advise on the best approach for your family.
Being kept from your children?
When one parent is shut out of their children’s lives, or decisions are being made without them, we help you put proper arrangements back in place, calmly and through the right steps. We act for mothers and fathers equally. What matters is your children’s welfare and your relationship with them.
I am the father but not on the birth certificate, do I have rights?
You may already have parental responsibility, or be able to acquire it, and you can apply for a child arrangements order. We explain exactly where you stand from the first call.
