Co-parenting Agreement

The English Family Court advises co-parents to:

  • Obtain specialist legal advice at the outset, and
  • Enter into a written co-parenting agreement before conception

A written co-parenting agreement should be bespoke to your personal situation, needs and wishes. It requires careful consideration and management of a range of legal and wider issues. It can be even more complex when there is an international dimension, there are challenging emotional dynamics, the parties seek to conceive by private arrangement and where parties need to navigate additional health and fertility issues.

A written co-parenting agreement has a number of functions, including:

  • Help understanding and navigation of legal issues and risks.
  • Help manage arrangements for care and upbringing of a child.
  • Tool to manage expectations and wishes.
  • Evidential use in the event of a subsequent dispute and litigation.
