How the court decides
The law that applies to your child
Under the Children Act 1989, your child's welfare is the court's paramount consideration in every decision.
The welfare checklist
The court considers your child's wishes and feelings, their needs, the likely effect of any change, their age and background, any risk of harm, and each parent's ability to meet their needs.
Involvement of both parents
The law presumes that involvement of each parent in a child's life will further their welfare, unless there is evidence that it would put the child at risk.
No order unless needed
The court only makes an order if doing so is better for the child than making no order at all, which is why agreements reached early are often encouraged.
Orders the court can make
The main orders in children cases
Understanding which order applies to your situation is the first step to a focused application.
Child Arrangements Order
Sets out who your child lives with and when they spend time with each parent.
Prohibited Steps Order
Stops a parent taking a specific step, such as moving your child abroad, without permission of the court.
Specific Issue Order
Resolves a single disagreement, such as which school your child attends or medical treatment.
