Child Contact

A Child Arrangements Order, formerly known as a contact order, is a legally binding court order in the UK that specifies who a child lives with, how they spend time with each parent (or other designated individuals), and the frequency and nature of that contact. It ensures a child has a regular relationship with both parents, or at least one parent, even if they live with the other.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Legally Binding:
  A Child Arrangements Order is a court order, making it legally enforceable.
• Living and Contact Arrangements:
  The order dictates where a child lives, who they spend time with, and how often.
• Direct and Indirect Contact:
  Contact can be direct (visits, overnight stays) or indirect (phone calls, emails).
• Supervised Contact:
  If there are concerns about a child's safety or wellbeing, the court may order supervised contact at a contact centre.
• Until Age 16 (Typically):
  The order is typically valid until the child turns 16, although it can be modified if necessary.
• Child's Wishes and Feelings:
  The court will consider the child's wishes and feelings when making an order, especially as they get older.
• Best Interests of the Child:
  The court always prioritizes the best interests of the child when determining the order.
