Private Law Children
Difficulties can arise when family relationships breakdown. In some cases, these cannot be resolved and people turn to the Family Court for assistance. Private law cases are brought by individuals often seeking an order under Section 8 of the Children Act 1989. Orders under Section 8 of the Children Act 1989 include child arrangement orders and prohibited steps orders.
Child arrangement orders determine who a child is to live or spend time with, and such orders can be granted to more than one person whether they are living together or not. They can include not only parents, but arrangements between siblings and wider family members. Contact may include direct contact, or indirect contact such as letters and emails.
