Co-Parenting Dispute

A dispute with a co-parent can raise complex legal issues under fertility and family law in the UK.  Co-parenting disputes can be particularly challenging in cases where:

• The parties did not enter into a written co-parenting agreement.
• The parties artificially conceived a child by private arrangement.
• There are international aspects.
• There are complex personal dynamics (e.g. longstanding friendship, medical issues, social, religious and cultural issues, financial differences).

Co-parenting disputes can encompass a wide range of issues including:

• Legal status and identity of a co-parent.
• Amount of time a child spends or resides with a co-parent.
• Exercise of parental responsibility by a co-parent.
• Financial provision for a child by a co-parent.
• Nature and content of a co-parenting agreement.
