Document background
The Primary Custody Agreement is essential when parents separate or divorce and need to formalize arrangements for their children's care. This document, governed by the laws of England and Wales, provides a comprehensive framework for managing custody arrangements, including residence, contact schedules, decision-making authority, and financial responsibilities. It must comply with the Children Act 1989 and subsequent legislation, ensuring the child's welfare remains the paramount consideration. The agreement helps prevent future disputes by clearly defining each parent's rights and responsibilities while providing stability for the child.
