Section 8 of the Children Act 1989: 

A child arrangements order, in its most basic form, is a court order, enforceable decides the child's living arrangements or the people and duration of their access to the child.

Parental responsibilities is shared when a Child Arrangements Order is issued. It determines  who a child lives as well as allowing the person to make day-to-day decisions for the child (such as whether the child should go on a school trip), but this does not permit him or her to exclude other persons with parental responsibility from major life decisions for the child. If the court doesn't rule otherwise, it lasts until the child is 18 years old.

The wellbeing of the child is the court's top priority when determining whether to grant a Child Arrangements Order. It must adhere to the "welfare checklist," which includes a wide range of topics, including the child's needs, wants, and the effects of any change in circumstances. The Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Services (CAFCASS) or children's services are typically requested by the court to create a welfare report. You have two options for applying: through a lawyer or "litigant in person."
