Your Child Arrangements Toolkit

About This Toolkit

This toolkit is for you if you need to agree who your child should live with, or whether and when they should spend time with someone. It is mostly intended for parents who are not living together and haven’t yet sorted out an arrangement that everyone is happy with.

The toolkit will give you information about the law and the different ways you could sort out your child arrangements problem. It also includes information about different stages of the family court process but those sections will not necessarily be relevant to you. The toolkit will also help you to plan practical steps that will help you move closer to sorting out your child arrangements problem.

We understand that the last thing you need is one more stressful chore added to your list. The toolkit is designed to be easy to use and understand and we hope you will find it useful and interesting.

Each topic in the toolkit can be revisited as many times as you like. You can move between topics by clicking ‘back’ or ‘next’ at the bottom of each page, or you can return to this home page, or select another topic using the ‘Toolkit topics’ button, in the menu toolbar at the top of the page.
