Child Custody Court Orders in England & Wales

If you and your ex-are having any child custody problems related to:

  • Agreeing who your child/children should live with
  • Agreeing the time a child/children should spend with the other parent
  • Agreeing with a specific child/children care, school, medical or religious issue

You should understand the legal options available through these Court Orders:

  • Child Arrangement Order
  • Specific Issue Order
  • Prohibited Steps Order

Child Arrangement Orders

Formerly called Child Contact and Residence Orders. Agreeing what’s right for the children when parents separate it can be difficult to agree:

  • Which parent the child/children should live with
  • When and how much time kids spend with the parent they don’t live with
  • Changing a child’s name or school, any religious or medical treatment issues

A Child Arrangements Order can set out:

  • Arrangements for where a child lives either with a parent or a non-parent.
  • Arrangements for a child to spend time with or otherwise have contact with a person they don’t live with. This is often the non-resident parent.

When dealing with a Child Arrangements Order application, the Court will take the stance that it is generally better for a child/children if a parent is involved in their lives.

Specific Issue Orders

A Specific Issue Order can be applied for to ask the Court to resolve a disagreement about any matter related to Parental Responsibility. For example:

  • Which school the child/children should go to
  • Whether the child/children should receive medical treatment
  • How religion should be included in the child/children’s upbringing.
  • Whether the parent with care can take the child to live abroad

If you want to take a child that lives with you abroad this is a complex matter with extra factors that the Court must consider. It could be a criminal offence to take a child out of England or Wales without the right consent or Court Order, so it’s important to get legal advice beforehand.

Prohibited Steps Orders

A Prohibited Steps Order can ask the Court to prevent one parent taking a particular action related to Parental Responsibility. For example:

  • Preventing the child/children associating with someone with adverse influence
  • Preventing the child/children being permanently removed from the UK
  • Preventing medical treatment

We can work with you on a fixed fee basis so you know exactly what the costs are each step of the way.
