The House of Commons has now released its research briefing on how the family courts make decisions regarding child arrangements, particularly in circumstances where domestic abuse has been alleged and/or found.

The briefing provides helpful information as to the following key aspects:

• Presumption of parental involvement – the legal principle which states that the court must start from the presumption that it is in the best interests of a child’s welfare for them to have involvement with both of their parents.

• Practice Direction 12J – the legal framework guiding the court on how to deal with child arrangement cases where domestic abuse is alleged.

• Parental alienation – where allegations are raised that a child has become estranged from one parent as a result of the actions of the other.

• Government reforms following completion of the Harms Report – where issues were highlighted regarding inadequate resources for parents and the failure to protect vulnerable individuals.

If you are currently a party to private law children proceedings, or are contemplating issuing an application, then this briefing may assist in your overall understanding of the process and how the courts make decisions regarding the arrangements for children.

The briefing can be accessed via the following link: Child arrangements: the family court and domestic abuse (England and Wales) - House of Commons Library
It is also important that you seek legal advice where possible and you can get in touch with us by calling 01268 240400.
