Document background
A Future Custody Agreement serves as a comprehensive framework for managing child custody arrangements in England and Wales. This document is typically employed when parents are separating, divorcing, or need to formalize their arrangements for child care and responsibility. The agreement encompasses crucial elements such as primary residence, visitation schedules, decision-making authority, and financial obligations. It must comply with the Children Act 1989 and related legislation, ensuring that the child's welfare remains the paramount consideration. The document can be particularly valuable in preventing future disputes by clearly defining each party's rights and responsibilities.
