Child Arrangement Agreement Editor

Create a comprehensive child arrangement agreement putting your child's welfare first

👶 Children Covered by This Agreement

Child 1
Children Act 1989: The welfare of your children is the paramount consideration. This agreement should reflect their needs, not parental convenience.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Details

🏠 Primary Residence ? The primary residence is where the child mainly lives. This is often called "living with" arrangements in court orders.

📅 Regular Contact Schedule ? Be as specific as possible. Vague arrangements like "regular contact" cause disputes. State exact days, times, and who does what.

Select a schedule template or create a custom arrangement:

Every Weekend
Friday evening to Sunday evening
Alternate Weekends
Every other weekend
Midweek + Weekend
Wednesday evening + alternate weekends
Week About
Alternating weeks with each parent
2-2-3 Pattern
Mon-Tue / Wed-Thu / Fri-Sun alternating
Custom Schedule
Create your own arrangement
The parent who the child spends time with during contact visits
? Regular midweek contact helps the child maintain connection with both parents throughout the week.

🏖️ School Holiday Arrangements ? School holidays often cause the most disputes. Be very specific about dates, division, and who has priority in which years.

How much advance notice is required to book holiday time with the child

🎂 Special Occasions & Celebrations

🚗 Handover Arrangements ? Clear handover arrangements prevent arguments and distress at changeover times. Be specific about time, place, and who is responsible.

📞 Communication Arrangements ? Children benefit from regular contact with both parents. Set clear expectations for phone/video calls that work for everyone.

Important: Children should never be used as messengers between parents. All arrangements and issues should be discussed directly between adults.

🎓 School & Education Decisions

🏥 Medical & Health Decisions

Surgery, vaccinations, ongoing treatment

🙏 Religious Upbringing (Optional)

✈️ Travel & Holidays Abroad

Important: Taking a child abroad without proper consent from the other parent with parental responsibility may constitute child abduction under UK law. If in doubt, seek legal advice.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Extended Family Contact

💑 Introduction of New Partners

⚖️ Dispute Resolution ? Courts expect parents to try mediation before issuing proceedings. Having a clear dispute resolution process helps avoid costly and stressful court battles.

MIAM Requirement: Before applying to court for a Child Arrangements Order, you must usually attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM). Exceptions apply in cases of domestic abuse or urgency.
