It can be challenging to work out what arrangement you are seeking, whether this be through the court or by mutual agreement.
Each arrangement for each child should be considered against a criteria of what would be best for them. Some things to be mindful of when considering child contact:
1. The age of the child/ren
2. The distance between your home and where the child lives, if this is not with you
3. Your working pattern
4. Your lifestyle and that of your child/ren
5. The wishes and feelings of your child/ren
Attached is an example of how you could structure your thinking to help you decide on the best potential child arrangements for your child/ren, which may be useful when entering discussions with the other parent.
