Care of Children Act 2004, s 40
If guardians agree on an issue about the child’s care and upbringing, such as their school, hobbies or religion, they have the option of asking the Family Court to turn the agreement into a court order. The agreement can then be enforced like any other court order.
As well as guardianship issues, agreements brought to the Family Court in this way sometimes include parenting arrangements for day-to-day care and contact.
