Child arrangements are made when two parents separate and there is an agreement made for their children’s future living arrangements, the amount of time they will spend with each parent after a divorce, and other factors like finances, schooling, and travel.
Deciding on Child Arrangements Post-Divorce
Lumine Solicitors advises divorcing couples to carefully consider the following factors when making child arrangements:
What will make the child/children happy?
The primary residence of the child/children following the divorce.
The distance of their residence from places such as school.
How can sufficient time be spent with both parents.
If an agreement cannot be reached Post-Divorce
If parents cannot come to an agreement after divorce, an alternative is to apply for a Child Arrangement Order. This order, issued by a judge, outlines where the child will live and the time they will spend with each parent. It is a legally binding document. Lumine Solicitors advises consulting our experienced family law team if you’re considering pursuing a Child Arrangement Order.
