What Are Child Arrangement Orders?

A Child Arrangements Order is a court order that sets out where a child will live, who they will spend time with, and how that contact will take place, such as overnight stays, holidays, phone calls, or other forms of communication. These orders are often used when parents separate and cannot agree on practical arrangements for their child. The focus of the court is always the child’s welfare and what is in their best interests, rather than the preferences of either parent.

A parent may need a Child Arrangements Order if informal discussions or mediation have not resolved issues such as where the child should live, how much time they should spend with each parent, or how handovers and holidays should be managed. They may also be necessary where communication has broken down, arrangements are not being followed, or there are concerns about safety, conflict, or stability. In many cases, parents are expected to consider mediation before applying to court, unless exemptions apply, such as domestic abuse or urgency.

What Our Clients Say About Us?

Child Arrangement Order Process

  • Seek initial legal advice to understand your options, the strength of your position, and whether a court application is the right step.
  • Try to resolve matters outside court, where appropriate. This may involve direct discussions, solicitor correspondence, negotiation, or mediation.
  • Attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) unless an exemption applies, such as domestic abuse, urgency, or safeguarding concerns.
  • Prepare the court application, usually using Form C100, setting out what order you are asking the court to make and why.
  • Submit the application to the Family Court, together with the court fee or any fee remission application if you are eligible.
  • Safeguarding checks are carried out by CAFCASS or CAFCASS Cymru (Wales), who may contact both parents and complete background checks before the first hearing.
  • Attend the First Hearing Dispute Resolution Appointment, where the court considers the issues, safeguarding information, and whether an agreement can be reached.
  • Follow any court directions, which may include filing statements, providing evidence, attending further hearings, or CAFCASS preparing a welfare report.
  • Attend any further hearings, where the court will consider the evidence and the child’s welfare before deciding what arrangements should be made.
  • Receive the final Child Arrangements Order, which will set out where the child lives, when they spend time with each parent, and any other arrangements the court considers appropriate.
