A Sole Custody Agreement becomes necessary when parents decide or a court determines that one parent should have primary responsibility for a child's care and decision-making. This document, fundamental in English and Welsh family law, establishes clear parameters for parental responsibilities, contact arrangements, and decision-making authority. It typically follows separation, divorce, or other circumstances where shared custody is not viable or in the child's best interests. The agreement must comply with the Children Act 1989 and related legislation, ensuring the child's welfare remains paramount. It should address all aspects of the child's upbringing, including education, healthcare, religious instruction, and contact arrangements with the non-custodial parent.
