What is a child arrangement order?

When your relationship breaks down, you will need a child arrangement order, which will decide where your child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent, including contact visits, phone calls, and video calls.

Key things you may want to consider include:

Who will financially support the children?
Who will be their guardian?
Who will have visitation rights and how often?

At Downs, we encourage mediation over going to court but we will work with you towards the best outcome that is right for you, with as little disruption for your children as possible.
