When the parents have agreed where their child is to live, who will be his or her guardian, what the visitation arrangements will be and who will pay what as child maintenance support, their local social services may confirm the agreement. An agreement confirmed by social services is as official as a court decision.
Une fois que les parents se sont mis d’accord sur le logement de l’enfant, sa prise en charge, les droits de visite et la pension alimentaire, le bureau social de la commune peut confirmer le contrat, ce qui a la même valeur légale qu’une décision de justice.
