A child has the right to spend time with both parents, and it is primarily seen as the child’s right opposed to the parents. The way this is done is through a child arrangement order issued by the court. If the child is 12 years or over their wishes are taken into account, and if they do not wish to see a particular parent they do not have to. The courts work in close conjunction with CAFCASS in order to provide the best judgement call. Furthermore it is important that if you wish to proceed through the court with this matter, taking meditation services is compulsory. Mediation services is a method of resolving issues outside the courtroom. 

Please do not hesitate to contact DalSun Solicitors to make further arrangements, or have any queries regarding any stages of the process.
