FORMALIZING YOUR AGREEMENT OF CHILD CUSTODY

Why It Makes Sense?

Being a divorced UK citizen with a child, having the custody agreement formalized gives you a number of advantages. Let us consider a few:

LEGAL BINDING

When a child custody agreement is legally formalized, that means that it is now court enforceable.

The agreement is drafted by a professional family law attorney to ensure compliance.

Both parties have to sign a contract agreeing to all the terms on paper.

NOT BOUND BY TIME OR DISTANCE

No matter where the parents end up in the future, custody is in place.

Custody status is also retained in case relations between ex-spouse turns sour.

WHAT DOES IT COVER?

There’s no limit to the things you can put into a formal child custody agreement. Some common examples are:

School

Which parent will have the right to attend to the child’s education matters?

Driving

Which parent will have the privilege of driving the child around for obligations or recreation?

Vacation

In case either parent decides to go on a vacation, can they have the child tag along?

Holidays

How will each parent distribute the time they get to spend with the child over annual holidays?
