A number of tools and services, such as the online Parenting Plan, are available to help divorcing parents reach agreements about the needs of their children, for example covering questions about living arrangements and education.

If the case goes before the court, the court is legally required to make the child’s welfare its paramount concern in any decision regarding the child’s future, while recognising the importance of parental involvement.</p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Sir Oliver Heald question first answered 14/03/2017 17:09:45 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald
