Document background
A Full Custody Agreement is essential when parents need to formalize arrangements for their children's care and upbringing under the jurisdiction of England and Wales. This document becomes necessary during separation, divorce, or when existing arrangements need formal documentation. It encompasses all aspects of childcare, including residence, contact schedules, education, healthcare decisions, and financial responsibilities. The agreement must comply with the Children Act 1989 and related legislation, with the child's best interests being paramount. It serves as a reference point for all parties involved and can be enforced through the courts if necessary.
