Enforcing a child arrangements order

If parents or those with parental responsibility cannot agree on child arrangements, the court can issue a Child Arrangement Order.

This order addresses whom the child will spend time with, whom the child will live with, and other unresolved care issues.

Enforcement becomes necessary when the Child Arrangement Order is not adhered to by the responsible party.

Child Arrangement Orders, including contact arrangements, are generally made under section 8 of the Children Act 1989.

If a party fails to comply with the order, the aggrieved party may seek enforcement under section 11J of the Children Act 1989.
