Children
The breakdown of the marriage or relationship does not end the party’s role as parents.
During this difficult time you need to put your personal differences aside and focus on the need and welfare of any children of the marriage or relationship.
Agreements
It is always in the best interest of the child or children for the parties to reach an agreement between them on their welfare. This can be through negotiations or mediation.
If the parties cannot reach agreement or mediation fails then an application can be made to the court.
Court orders
The main orders available for the court to make are:
-
Residence order
This deals with where the child should live. This can also be shared. -
Contact order
This deals with whom the child or children should have contact with including the level and frequency of the contact. -
Prohibited steps order
This is an order prohibiting a party from carrying out an act such as removing a child to live elsewhere or abroad. -
Specific issue order
This is an order, which prevents a party from carrying out a particular act such as changing a child’s name, or what school a child should go to.
COHABITATION
More and more couples are choosing to live together and having children without getting married.
There is a popular belief that after living together for several years both parties acquire some legal rights over each other and their properties as if they were married which is frequently referred to as “common law” husband and wife.
The reality is that upon breakdown the parties discover they have little or no rights or remedies.
