Our team of specialist child custody solicitors will help you get the best child arrangements order for you.
People often use the phrase “child custody” when discussing a child arrangements order. This is not a term that is generally used in the legal world but is used in the public space. “Child custody” is professionally known as Child Arrangements.
If you are looking to confirm child arrangements, it is always preferable to have this made in writing, in the form of a Child Arrangements Order. This can avoid any misinterpretation going forward. Our specialist child lawyers in Birmingham can draft a child arrangements order. Typical child contact arrangements usually outline time shared with children, this can be between you and your partner and occasionally grandparents.
When dealing with Child Arrangement Orders, the court will evaluate the individual circumstances to decide what arrangements are in your children’s best interests. They will listen to you and your children’s wishes and feelings before arriving at a decision. This is a last resort if both parents are unable to come to an agreement.
Specific Issue Orders determine child disputes about more specific matters such as religion, medical treatment and taking a child to live abroad. Taking a child out of the country for any length of time, without the right permissions is a criminal offence. Our child arrangement lawyers are well versed in disputes arising from divorce or separation. If you are unsure about Specific Issue Orders, then please speak to our team.
Prohibited Steps Orders are made to restrict actions by one parent that may be considered detrimental to the welfare of the child. Often this relates to the manner in which a parent is exercising their Parental Responsibility. Adverse influence, permanent removal from the UK or stopping medical treatment are all matters that would be covered by a Prohibited Steps Order. If you need a Prohibited Steps Order or emergency child arrangement order, then please get in touch with our team.
