Get a Fair, Working Contact Schedule for You and Your Children

We help you create, negotiate, or enforce Child Arrangements Orders — so contact is consistent, safe, and truly centred on your child’s best interests.

Why Solid Arrangements Matter

A vague or one-sided contact schedule causes more harm than good. It invites conflict, confusion, and repeated trips to court.

We help you:

  • Protect your parenting time

  • Reduce handover conflict and communication breakdowns

  • Give your children the stability they deserve

What You Get

  • Contact-Options Worksheet
    Explore realistic rota options (50/50, 60/40, term-time, holidays) before you start negotiating.

  • Draft Parenting Plan
    A clear, judge-ready document that covers communication, travel, holidays, schooling, birthdays, and more.

  • Cafcass & Mediator Prep Pack
    Key talking points, red lines, and child-focused phrases to use in MIAMs or Section 7 interviews.

  • Application / Response Support
    Guidance on completing C100 or C79 forms — whether you’re applying or responding.

  • McKenzie Friend Court Attendance
    Support on the day of your hearing: note-taking, whisper advice, procedural guidance, and a debrief after.

Common Scenarios We Support

  • You don’t have a court order and rely on the other parent’s goodwill

  • Your existing Child Arrangements Order is being ignored

  • You face constant disputes over holidays, birthdays, or travel consent

  • You’re ready to move from supervised/indirect contact to normal routines

  • Cafcass is recommending a schedule that doesn’t work for your child

Why Choose Parent Legal?

  • “Standard” rota pushed by solicitors?
    We tailor contact plans to your child’s needs, not templates.

  • Worried about more hearings?
    We keep bundles tight and prep fixed-fee — avoiding drawn-out disputes.

  • Cafcass report feels one-sided?
    We help rebalance the conversation with focused questions and child-led evidence.

  • Need to enforce an order?
    We provide breach-logging templates and C79 drafting so you’re ready to act.
