What is a Child Arrangements Order?

The Court can make a Child Arrangements Order if parents are unable to agree between themselves what the arrangements for a child should be. The Order can cover a variety of factors, including:

  1. Which parent the child will live with
  2. How much time the child will spend with a non-resident parent or family member
  3. When and where the contact with the non-resident parent will take place
  4. Whether the contact with the non-resident parent should be supervised or unsupervised

The Child Arrangements Order will clearly set out how the child’s time is to be divided.

As the child grows older and their circumstances change, it is possible to apply to the court to vary a Child Arrangements Order.
