The Court can only grant a divorce if it considers that there are proper arrangements for the children, or despite any inadequacies in the arrangements, there are special reasons why the divorce should still be granted. It is essential that complete current details be provided in relation to housing, supervision, contact, financial support, health and education of each child. If there is not enough space on the form, attach another page or pages to the application and number them 24B, 24C and so on. If you do not provide full details, the Court may adjourn your application until you do so. If the parent who lives with the child is working outside the home, state the hours and state who looks after the child during the parents absence.
Contact can either be face to face, or by phone or letters.
Financial support Maintenance and Child Support how the child is supported financially, including details of maintenance orders or child support assessments and what is actually being paid or proposed to be paid by any parent or party to the marriage who does not live with the child. You should include details if any significant changes are planned for example, changing residence, schooling arrangements or supervision. The best way to do this is that the person should attend Court on the hearing date. If this is not practicable, the person may provide evidence by affidavit. If evidence of the arrangements cannot be provided or the Court considers the arrangements are unsatisfactory, then it is possible for the Court to declare that there are circumstances by reason of which the divorce should become absolute in any event.
