If you have genuine safeguarding concerns and believe the children are at risk of harm in the care of the other parent or guardian, then in certain circumstances, you can exercise your parental responsibility to prevent contact immediately. However, that is not a step to be taken lightly, and you must have legitimate concerns. We can advise you about whether that is the best option in your circumstances.

You can apply for a Child Arrangements Order to the Court by consent if you have reached an agreement with the other parent/guardian, however, the Court may still list a Hearing to ensure that they are satisfied with the proposed arrangements and that you understand the implications.

Although pre nuptial are not technically legally binding, the Court will give significant weight to them if each party has fully disclosed their financial position and each party has received independent legal advice. It provides adequate provision for each party in the event of a divorce.

A prenup only carries weight if each party has had independent legal advice. It is, therefore, wise to instruct a solicitor to prepare the prenup and advise you on the same to ensure that it is a format to which the Court will give weight.
