How arrangements for children are usually handled alongside a divorce.

Children's arrangements are legally separate from the divorce itself, but in practice the two are usually worked through together.

What this covers
  • How living and contact arrangements are typically agreed
  • The role of the child's wishes and welfare
  • Mediation as a first step
  • When court involvement becomes necessary
Most arrangements for children are agreed without a court needing to decide them.
