If you’re both in agreement but you want a legally binding order, its worth knowing that a court will only make a ‘consent order’ in limited circumstances. Usually the court will not make an order setting out arrangements for children unless there has been a dispute. It might be useful to confirm your agreed arrangements in a parenting plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some circumstances where a court may be persuaded that there is a need for an order e.g. where there have been repeat issues with ‘agreed’ arrangements so a court order will create more certainty or where an order may be required because there is an international element involved. A court order is a legal document that confirms your agreement. It can include details about how you\u2019ll look after your children, such as: <\/p>\n\n\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span><\/span>Where they live<\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span><\/span>When they spend time with each parent<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span><\/span>When and what other types of contact take place (phone calls, for example)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
