Child Arrangement Orders

Child Arrangement Orders (CAOs) are essential legal tools that define where a child lives, who they have contact with, and when. These court orders are particularly important when parents or individuals with parental responsibility cannot agree on arrangements for the child. At Zain Legal & Co., we specialize in providing professional, unreserved legal support as your McKenzie Friend to guide you through the child arrangement order process in the UK.

What Is a Child Arrangement Order (CAO)?

A Child Arrangement Order is a court decision outlining key aspects of a child’s care, including:

• Living Arrangements: Where the child will primarily reside.
• Contact: Who the child will spend time with and under what conditions.
• Parental Responsibility: Determining responsibilities and roles for decision-making.

These orders aim to ensure the child’s welfare is prioritized, fostering stability and structure in their upbringing.
