A Child Arrangement Order or Child Arrangements Order[1] is in the UK an agreement concerning where a child lives and who a child can have contact with. They are usually sought following the breakdown of a relationship and replace 'contact orders' and 'residence orders'. Their legal basis is section 8 of the Children Act 1989.[2]
