Going through a divorce is already a challenging situation, only made even more complicated (and often emotional) when children are involved. Deciding on living arrangements, contact schedules, and parental responsibilities can feel overwhelming. But with the right legal support, you can make decisions that prioritise your child’s well-being while also protecting your rights as a parent.
When you go through a divorce or separation, you should make an agreement that allows your child to see both parents. While a Child Arrangement Order (CAO) helps clarify who your child will live with, spend time with, and have contact with, the situation gets quite complicated when your child says they don’t want to see a parent any more.

Parental Responsibility is where a parent has a legal duty and responsibility for a child.
This includes caring for them and making decisions about their upbringing, health and educational needs.
While all mothers automatically have parental responsibility, not all fathers do. Only a father who is married to the mother at the time of birth or is named on the birth certificate has legal parental responsibility.
In more complex cases relating to fathers’ rights, it might be necessary to enter into a Parental Responsibility Agreement with the mother or apply for a Parental Responsibility Order from the court.
Parental responsibility refers to an adult's authority to make decisions on a child's behalf. Put simply, it is the responsibility for every aspect of the child’s life, including the child’s welfare, education, health, support, and care.
A mother is automatically considered to have parental responsibility for their child according to law. However, a father does not automatically have parental responsibility only where he is married to the mother of the child at the time of birth or, if he is mentioned on the child’s birth certificate.
If the child's same-sex parents were civil partners anytime during the child's conception
through a sperm donor or surrogate, then they will have parental responsibility.
The second parent in a same-sex relationship can get parental responsibility in one of two ways:
If you’re a father who is not named on the birth certificate or was not married to the mother when the child was born, or a step-parent or grandparent looking to gain parental responsibility, you can enter into a ‘Parental Responsibility Agreement’.
While certain criteria must be met depending on your circumstances, it’s generally a process that avoids involving the court.
In the event that a co-parent doesn’t want to agree to share Parental Responsibility, you can apply to the court for a Parental Responsibility Order. Bear in mind, however, the court does hold the right to reject the application if they believe it is what’s in the child’s best interest.
No, parental responsibility is not the same as child custody. Generally speaking, parental responsibility refers to a parent’s duties towards their child, while ‘custody’ (or Child Arrangements) focuses on a parent’s rights over their child, including where they’ll live and who has contact.
Adoption does remove parental responsibility from the child’s birth parents. Normally those with parental responsibility would have to consent to the adoption of their child, but the adoption process could proceed without their consent if the court believes that the child would be at risk if not adopted or if they are incapable of giving consent.
Parental responsibility refers to the legal rights and duties that mothers and fathers have as parents. Having parental responsibility means that you can make important decisions about the child, such as choosing where they go to school, whether they can have specific medical treatment, or choosing which religion the child is brought up with.
A Child Arrangement Order (or CAO) is a legal ruling that decides where a child will live, how much time they’ll spend with each parent, and how contact will be managed. It’s what used to be known as "child custody," but the focus now is firmly on making sure the child's well-being is at the centre of all decisions - covering everything from their living situation to their school and daily routine.
If you have parental responsibility, you can apply for a CAO, though this doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get the outcome you want. The court carefully assesses what’s in the best interests of the child and makes decisions accordingly, ensuring their needs come first.
A fair child arrangement is one that fits the needs of the child in which each parent can see the child as much as is reasonably possible unless the parents pose a risk of harm to the child.
A 50/50 split would be the most fair arrangement and the court does try to achieve this, but sometimes this may not be possible in the circumstances.
The paramount concern for judges in the UK centres on the welfare of the child, irrespective of the parent's preferences. The court evaluates the child's physical, mental, and emotional requirements, and sometimes takes into account the child's preferences if they are able to express them.
Judges conduct a thorough examination of these elements with the aim of establishing a custody arrangement that will best promote the child's overall well-being.
There is no one-size-fits-all child arrangement, as each family, child, and situation is distinctive. Nevertheless, the best arrangement prioritises the child's best interests. Every family has its own set of characteristics, and every child is an individual with distinct qualities.
When it comes to child arrangements, you can either use an experienced Family Law Solicitor or represent yourself. Opting for legal representation involves hiring a lawyer, which, although expensive, provides expertise in handling legal aspects and representing the client in court.
Lawyers may attempt to negotiate an agreement outside the court or guide clients through the necessary legal processes. On the other hand, representing yourself may be a better option due to cost considerations or a preference for direct communication with the judge.
While self-representation is an option, it's important to note that individuals can still seek legal advice during the court process. Various resources, such as GOV.UK and Support Through Court, offer guidance for those representing themselves.
Considering the associated costs, rates for lawyers range from £110 to £410 per hour, with variations based on location and experience. It’s important to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) before pursuing a court order. The MIAM assesses the suitability of mediation and the potential for reaching agreements outside the courtroom, emphasising the importance of exploring alternatives before resorting to litigation.
Previously known as “child custody,” child arrangements do not always have to be formally approved by the court in England and Wales. If you and the other parent agree on how your child should be cared for, how much contact each parent should have with the child, which school they should attend, and all other applicable arrangements, then the court does not need to intervene.
If you are able to agree on the child arrangements, it is a good idea to have a consent order drafted, which will make the arrangements legally binding meaning that the other parent cannot change the terms of the plan at any point without your approval.
It is better if you can make suitable arrangements between you as it means that the courts do not need to get involved and often the parents know what is best for their child. It can sometimes become unpleasant when courts have to intervene which can impact the child negatively. The ideal scenario is for parents to be able to successfully co-parent. However, this may not always be possible. The courts will only get involved if you can't agree on these issues, or if their child's welfare is a matter of serious concern. In these circumstances, a child arrangements order will be applied for.
A common misconception is that “shared care” means that the child’s time is divided equally 50/50 between their parents. However, this is not correct.
In child custody or child arrangement proceedings shared care can result in different outcomes depending on the situation. It is preferable that both parents have contact with the child, but it is often the case that it is not possible to equally split time between each parent. The reality is that each parent has different schedules with work and other commitments and a 50/50 split is just not achievable.
If parents are going through child arrangements proceedings through the court rather than deciding themselves or using a mediator, the court will help to decide on the shared care arrangements. The court will always put the child’s safety and welfare before anything else when looking at shared care.
Among many factors, the court will look at child’s wishes of where they prefer to live, their emotional, physical, and educational needs, their age and background.
A Parenting Plan is a powerful tool for co-parents, providing a written agreement that outlines practical details concerning their child. What makes it even more effective is involving the child in the process if they are of an appropriate age. By clearly documenting agreed-upon arrangements and actions, a Parenting Plan serves as a roadmap to meet the needs of the child.
This plan holds significant advantages, potentially eliminating the need for court intervention to reach agreements or have arrangements required by the court. By creating a Parenting Plan, parents demonstrate a commitment to prioritising the child's well-being and acting in their best interests.
The collaborative effort in making a plan together brings many benefits, including refocusing on the child's needs, offering a sense of stability and security, clarifying expectations for everyone involved, establishing a reference point for agreements, and addressing practical decisions related to the child's living arrangements, education, and healthcare.
In UK family law, there is no specific age stated as to when a child can refuse contact with a parent. In a family court, depending on the age of the child in question, considerations will be made towards a child's wishes and feelings, balancing them with their best interests.
There is no specific age in UK family law for a child to choose which parent to live with. Courts consider the child's best interests, maturity, and individual circumstances, typically giving more weight to the preferences of older children, generally around the age of 12 or older.
In the UK, the government has committed to ensuring that children and young people involved in all family court hearings in England and Wales from the age of 10 will have access to judges to express their views and feelings. When making decisions about a child, the court prioritises the child's welfare above all else.
To determine the best interests of the child, the court considers several factors. Firstly, the child’s wishes and feelings, taking into account their age and understanding, are carefully weighed. Additionally, the court evaluates the child's physical, emotional, and educational needs, aiming to ensure that any decisions support the child's overall well-being.
Furthermore, the potential impact of any changes in the child’s circumstances is considered, alongside factors such as the child’s age, sex, background, and any relevant characteristics. The court also takes into account any harm the child has suffered or is at risk of suffering, as well as the ability of each parent, and any other relevant individuals, to meet the child's needs.
Through this comprehensive assessment, the court aims to make informed decisions that support the child's well-being and development. By considering a range of factors and giving children and young people the opportunity to voice their views, the court looks to ensure that its decisions are in the child's best interests.
If your child refuses contact, try to understand their reasons. Consult a family solicitor for legal advice and consider mediation to facilitate communication between parents. Reviewing the CAO or seeking professional counselling can also help address the child's concerns.
The following steps should help you support your child while ensuring you don’t make any decisions that could result in further legal complications.
First, try understanding why your child is refusing contact. It may stem from emotional distress, fear, or lack of communication. Speak to them openly, allowing them to express their feelings without judgment. This will help build trust and can reveal any underlying issues that need resolving.
Seeking professional help can provide clarity and legal guidance. Family solicitors experienced in child arrangement orders can advise on the steps you should take, ensuring you follow the correct legal procedures. Solicitors can also help mediate between you and the other parent, keeping the child’s best interests at the forefront.
Mediation offers a neutral platform to discuss concerns. Trained mediators facilitate these sessions, helping both parents understand the child’s perspective. Effective communication during mediation can often lead to solutions that a court may not impose. It’s also worth noting that your willingness to consider mediation demonstrates a commitment to the courts for your child’s emotional well-being, should that need to be relied upon later.
If your current child arrangement order isn't serving your child’s best interests, you might need to review it. Legal advice from your solicitor will guide you through the process of varying the order. This can be particularly relevant if there's been a significant change in your child’s circumstances or behaviour.
Although UK law doesn't specify an exact age for when a child can refuse contact, older children’s wishes carry more weight in court decisions. Judges consider factors like the child's maturity and the reasons behind their refusal. Taking these into account can help ensure decisions align with the child’s best interests.
Involving a child psychologist or counsellor can sometimes be beneficial - both for your child and when explaining circumstances to a family law solicitor or family court. Professional counselling helps children articulate their feelings in a safe environment. This support can also aid parents in understanding the child’s perspective and addressing any trauma or anxiety related to the contact refusal.
Ignoring a court-ordered contact arrangement might lead to legal consequences. It’s vital to address any refusal within the framework of your child arrangement order. Your solicitor can advise on legal options and the potential need to return to court if necessary.
In the UK, there's no specific age when a child can legally decide which parent to live with. If the case is referred to the family courts, they will consider the child's wishes but will focus primarily on their best interests. As children mature, their preferences weigh more heavily in court decisions.
Children typically gain more influence in these decisions around the age of 12 or older. However, every case is unique. The court assesses each child's maturity and understanding, ensuring their choice reflects their well-being rather than external pressures.
When considering a child's living arrangement, solicitors often play a crucial role. These professionals help present your child's preferences and best interests effectively to the court. Consulting a solicitor ensures your case is represented accurately and supports your child's needs.
A Child Arrangement Order (CAO) formalises the living and contact arrangements for your child. If you're wondering, "at what age can a child say they don't want to see a parent?" it's essential to understand that no fixed age exists. Instead, the court evaluates the child's best interests, considering their age, emotional state, and reasons for their preferences.
Mediation can be beneficial if a child expresses a strong desire to live with one parent. This process helps both parents and children articulate their feelings and concerns. It's a supportive way to reach an amicable solution without the stress of court proceedings.
Understanding these aspects provides clarity and reassurance during the challenging times of separation or divorce. Family lawyers offer tailored advice for your situation, ensuring child-focused decisions. This empathetic and professional guidance helps navigate the complexities of child arrangement orders while prioritising your child's emotional well-being.
In the UK, parental responsibility is not automatically lost if parents are absent from their child’s life. In fact, you don’t lose rights as a parent just from being absent.
However, there are specific situations where parental responsibility can be terminated or removed.
If you have any concerns about your parental rights, GloverPriest’s expert Family Law solicitors are here to support you. Please get in touch.
In the UK, there are certain circumstances under which parental responsibility can be lost or lawfully removed entirely. Here are the most common circumstances that can lead to a parent losing their parental rights:
Adoption or Surrogacy
If a child is adopted, the biological parent’s parental responsibility is generally terminated, except in specific cases such as step-parent adoption. If a parental order is made in respect of a surrogate child, the mother’s rights are lost.
Court Orders
In rare cases, a court can remove parental responsibility completely if it’s in the child’s best interests. It may happen if a parent poses a risk to the child's welfare or if it is necessary for the child's protection.
Extended Absence
Being absent doesn't automatically remove your rights. However, if a parent is absent for a long time and uninvolved in the child's life, the other parent can ask the court to remove those rights. The court will consider what’s best for the child, the absent parent’s involvement, and any potential harm to the child.
When deciding whether to remove parental responsibility, the court evaluates several factors to ensure the child’s best interests are prioritised:
If a mother refuses contact despite a CAO, the father can apply to the court for enforcement. Courts take breaches seriously and can take steps to ensure compliance. Mediation is also recommended to amicably resolve the dispute while prioritising the child's well-being.
When your child expresses reluctance to visit their father, it's essential to understand the legal process. Courts assess each case individually, taking the child's age, maturity, and reasons into account. Children under 10 may have their wishes listened to, but typically, courts give more weight to older children's preferences.
If a Child Arrangement Order (CAO) exists, it's very important to adhere to it unless it’s legally modified. An experienced family solicitor or lawyer can guide you through this challenging time, helping you understand your options and ensure your child's welfare.
If you’re a father looking to understand your rights, visit our Understanding Fathers' Rights in UK Family Law blog or get in touch with our specialist Fathers’ Rights Solicitors for friendly and transparent advice.
When a mother refuses a father contact with their child, understand your rights and the legal options available. A Child Arrangement Order (CAO) can help resolve disputes by establishing clear arrangements for where a child lives and how much time they spend with each parent. If there is no CAO in place and you have Parental Responsibility, you might want to discuss your situation with an experienced family law solicitor.
A CAO defines parental responsibilities and ensures both parents can maintain a relationship with their child, except when it's not in the child’s best interest. If the mother breaches the CAO by refusing contact, the father can apply to the court for enforcement. Courts take such breaches seriously and may amend the CAO or impose penalties.
Children's wishes are considered in court decisions but do not solely determine the outcome. There isn't a specific age in UK law at which a child can refuse contact with a parent. Courts balance the child's preferences with their welfare. Typically, older children's views (around age 12 and above) are given more weight.
Engage a family solicitor when facing difficulties with child arrangements. Solicitors provide legal advice, represent your interests, and guide you through the court process. They help in understanding and applying for a CAO or seeking enforcement if necessary.
Mediation promotes open communication and amicable solutions. A neutral mediator facilitates discussions between parents to resolve conflicts. This process prioritises the child’s well-being and can prevent lengthy, stressful court proceedings.
In the UK, it's distressing when a father refuses to see his child, especially after a Child Arrangement Order (CAO) is in place. When a father breaches this order by refusing contact, it disrupts the child's stability and can cause emotional distress.
When a father refuses contact, it affects the child's emotional well-being. Children may feel rejected, confused, or distressed. It's important to provide emotional support and reassurance. Engaging in open communication with the child can help them articulate their feelings and understand the situation better.
You might need to take legal steps if a father refuses to see his child under a CAO. This could involve returning to court. Solicitors can assist with this, ensuring all necessary documentation is in order and representing your interests effectively. Courts take breaches of CAOs seriously and can enforce the order to ensure the child maintains regular contact with both parents, if it's in their best interests.
Although legal steps are sometimes necessary, mediation can also be a valuable tool. Mediation provides a neutral environment to discuss concerns and reach an amicable solution. It prioritises the child's well-being and can sometimes resolve contact issues without the need for court intervention.
A child's wishes can influence contact arrangements, but the court ultimately considers their best interests. There's no specific age when a child can decide, but older children's preferences carry more weight. Family solicitors can help present the child's wishes effectively in court, ensuring their needs are accurately represented.
Seeking professional support is vital in these situations. Solicitors specialising in family law can provide valuable advice and representation. They can help you navigate the legal complexities and ensure that your child's best interests are paramount.
Throughout this process, maintaining the child's emotional well-being is crucial. Professional counselling might be necessary to help the child process their feelings. Supporting the child with empathy and understanding can help minimise the emotional impact of a parent's refusal to see them.
Considering the child's best interests is critical when deciding if a father should stop seeing their child. Under certain circumstances, courts may evaluate if such actions are necessary.
Obtaining a court order typically requires demonstrating that contact is not in the child's best interests. Courts assess each case based on specific criteria, including harm or potential harm to the child. You can initiate this process by:
Consult experienced family solicitors to guide you through this complex legal process and ensure all actions prioritise your child's well-being.
As a grandparent, you don’t have an automatic right to see your grandchildren, this is because grandparents do not usually have parental responsibility. Parental responsibility allows people to decide who their children see and how they live their lives. It is ultimately the parents’ choice as to whether you can have access to your grandchildren.
If there are disagreements regarding whether you can see your grandchild, you can find ways of having contact with them through mediation or arrangements you make with the parents. The final option is to go to court to get permission to gain contact with the children by applying for a child arrangements order. In some cases, this may be the only option if the parents are not willing to cooperate. The court will then consider what is in the best interests of the child and whether contact would pose any kind of risk to them. The court would also look at whether communication would create a negative impact on the family as a whole. If successful, the court will put a plan in place to allow the children to see their grandparents.
Parents are able to object and give reasons why they believe that their child should not see their grandparents. Ultimately, the court will do what is best for the children.
At 16, you gain significant legal rights concerning your living and contact arrangements with your parents. Family law in the UK recognises that older children, particularly those aged 16 and above, generally possess the maturity to make informed decisions regarding their living circumstances. This only varies in cases where those who are 16 or older are considered vulnerable or at risk.
If you're 16 or older, you can typically decide where you want to live without needing a Child Arrangement Order. Courts are less likely to intervene unless there are significant concerns about your welfare. Your views carry substantial weight, and while it remains essential to consider your best interests, your preferences and feelings play a crucial role in decisions about your living arrangements.
You can also decide more freely about contact with either parent. If you prefer to limit or avoid contact with one parent, family courts usually respect this choice, provided it's in your best interests. However, open communication remains important to ensure that all parties understand the reasons behind your decisions. Solicitors can offer guidance and facilitate discussions to promote amicable solutions.
Family solicitors provide invaluable support in navigating your rights and ensuring your wishes are respected. They help clarify the legal process and represent your preferences effectively. Engaging a solicitor can be particularly beneficial if there's resistance or misunderstanding about your rights and decisions.
If disagreements arise about your living arrangements or contact with parents after you turn 16, mediation can be an effective tool. It offers a neutral platform to resolve conflicts and reach mutually acceptable solutions. Professional mediators, often in collaboration with family solicitors, help ensure that your voice is heard and considered.
If an existing Child Arrangement Order no longer serves your needs, it can be reviewed and potentially modified. At 16, your input becomes pivotal in any court deliberations about changes to such orders. Family lawyers can assist in presenting your case clearly and effectively, ensuring that your best interests and wishes are prioritised.
In essence, at 16, you hold considerable autonomy over your living and contact decisions. Understanding your rights and seeking professional support can empower you to navigate family law with confidence and assurance.
When a 10-year-old doesn't want to visit their dad, the court may take the child's views into account more significantly at this age (although they still focus on the child's best interests).
Alternatively, you can avoid court cases by discussing the issues with a solicitor. They can suggest and help organise other options, such as mediation or possibly modifying an existing Child Arrangement Order.
You should always encourage open communication with your child (and the father, where possible), and using mediation services may help in resolving any concerns while prioritising your child's emotional well-being. Court cases can be quite stressful for children, and taking into account their own feelings and emotions should always be a priority.
A 10-year-old can express their preference on which parent to live with; however, family courts in the UK don't allow children of this age to make the final decision. Instead, courts consider various factors to ensure what's best for the child's welfare. The weight given to a child's wishes increases with their age and maturity.
Solicitors help present a child's preferences and the family's context effectively to the court. They ensure that all relevant factors are considered and navigate the complexities of child arrangement orders.
When a child reaches 12 years old, their preferences about living arrangements gain more weight in family court decisions. While a 12-year-old can't make the final decision about where to live, courts take their views and maturity into serious consideration.
Family courts focus on the child's best interests. The court evaluates several factors, including the child's emotional needs, maturity, and the stability each parent can provide. Although a 12-year-old's desire is important, it doesn't solely determine the outcome of the Child Arrangement Order (CAO).
In the UK, family courts consider the wishes of children when deciding living arrangements. However, there's no specific age at which a child can legally decide which parent to live with. For children aged 13, their preferences carry significant weight, yet the court’s primary focus remains on their best interests.
Engaging solicitors can be invaluable in these complex situations. Solicitors help present your child's preferences effectively to the court. They ensure that the child's voice is heard while aligning arguments with legal standards and focusing on their welfare.
Courts consider a 13-year-old's preference alongside their welfare, maturity, and unique family circumstances. A solicitor can effectively present the child's preferences to the court, ensuring their voice is heard while mediation can help parents reach amicable arrangements.
Navigating child arrangement orders can be a complex journey. By understanding the legal landscape and seeking professional advice, you can ensure your child's best interests are prioritised. Remember that while a 14-year-old's views are important, the court's primary focus is on their welfare and maturity.
Engaging with family solicitors and considering mediation can help you address any concerns effectively. It's crucial to remain empathetic and open to communication, ensuring your child's emotional well-being is safeguarded throughout the process.
By choosing experienced legal support like GloverPriest Solicitors, you can confidently navigate these challenging situations, ensuring that all decisions are made with your child's best interests at heart.
A children's guardian should be appointed to ensure a child's care if both parents with parental responsibility die or become incapacitated. Only a person with parental responsibility, such as the child's mother (automatically from birth) or the father (under certain conditions like being named on the birth certificate), can make this appointment. The appointment must be in writing, signed, and dated. Guardians are often appointed in a parent's Will or a separate document, following legal formalities. If no guardian is appointed, the court must step in, which can be costly and time-consuming.
The guardian's appointment takes effect when both parents with parental responsibility have died unless a court order specifies otherwise. If the mother dies and the father lacks parental responsibility, the appointed guardian takes over immediately. Parents typically appoint trusted individuals, often close family members, and can specify conditions for the appointment. It's important to discuss the guardianship with the proposed individual(s) and appoint a replacement guardian in case the original cannot act.
Guardians can only be appointed for children under 18, and any appointment ends when the child reaches this age. Although parents cannot appoint successor guardians, the initially appointed guardian can choose their own successor, ideally documented in a Letter of Wishes.
Determining the legal ownership of a child's passport is not straightforward. Generally, the individual or individuals with parental responsibility for the child are considered the legal owners of the passport. This responsibility typically lies with the child's parents, although in certain situations, other family members or legal guardians may also have parental responsibility.
In cases of parental separation, it is common for the parent who the child primarily resides with to retain possession of the passport. This is because a passport cannot be divided between two parties. However, the decision regarding passport custody ultimately depends on the parents' agreement and what is deemed most practical and appropriate given the circumstances.
