Arranging child custody after divorce in the United Kingdom

 

After divorce, the issue of arranging child custody in the United Kingdom often becomes the most important and, at the same time, the most emotional. Properly organised legal support will help protect the interests of the child and minimise stress for the parents.

The Consultant legal marketplace team provides comprehensive legal support to Ukrainians living in the United Kingdom, including those on a Home for Ukraine visa or with other statuses.

 

How to arrange child custody after divorce in the United Kingdom

 

The first and most common question is: how to arrange child custody after divorce under British law? In the United Kingdom, child arrangements are made in the best interests of the child. There are several options for settlement:

  • reaching an agreement between the parents (with the possibility of notarisation or court confirmation);
  • mediation (alternative dispute resolution);
  • applying to the court for a Child Arrangements Order, which determines with whom the child will live, how communication with the other parent will be carried out, etc.

A lawyer will advise you on which form is appropriate for your situation and assist with all procedural actions, from preparing the application to representing you in court.

 

Who has custody rights in the United Kingdom?

 

A common question is who has custody rights in the United Kingdom after a divorce? The law does not automatically give preference to the mother or father. The court assesses:

  • the safety and stability of the child's living situation;
  • the emotional bond between the child and the parents;
  • the physical and psychological ability to care for the child;
  • the child's opinion (if they are old enough).

Consultant lawyers help gather evidence to support your position as a responsible guardian and protect your interests in negotiations or court proceedings.

  1. conduct a legal assessment of the situation and the chances of a successful resolution;
  2. prepare applications to the Family Court;
  3. represent the client's interests in court hearings;
  4. help to enforce court decisions and respond to violations thereof;
  5. accompany the process of amending existing agreements or court decisions if circumstances change.
