A child arrangements order is a court order determining who cares for a child. It specifies:​

· Where they live​

· When and how the child sees both parents.

The order can also include other types of contact, such as phone calls, video calls, and letters.

Child maintenance is a payment from one parent to another to cover living expenses. Ideally, parents agree on the amount and what it covers themselves. If not, they can apply to the Child Maintenance Service(CMS), a government agency that arranges and collects maintenance payments.

· Where your children should live​
