Care and contact arrangements explained


Questioner

What is the difference between a care and contact arrangement and a visitation arrangement? And who can draw up a care and contact arrangement?

Lawyer

In principle there is no difference. The terms are used interchangeably but since 1 March 2009, care and contact arrangements have been included in the law. Parents with parental authority must make such arrangements if they separate. Who can put a visitation arrangement or care and contact arrangement on paper: in short, parents, legal parents and social parents who are not legal parents provided that they have a close personal bond with the child. If no agreement can be reached, the judge will make a decision. If you have any specific questions, you can call the legal help desk (0900-8020) and you will speak to a lawyer or you can email me directly.
