Arrangements for Children – Family Lawyers Dot Co
If your children are under 16 (or between 16 and 18 and in full time education), the court will want to know how they will be cared for after a divorce.
A Statement of Arrangements form is used to provide the court with all the information it needs to make a decision about the children. It does not govern the future. It is sent to the Court with the Petition. If your spouse/partner disagrees they can suggest their own arrangements to the court. The District Judge will consider the arrangements at the same time as he decides whether to grant the divorce/separation/dissolution.
The Court will only automatically make an order about the children in the most exceptional circumstances.’
