The Amicable Custody Agreement is utilized when separated or separating parents in Ireland have reached a mutual understanding regarding their children's care and custody arrangements. This document is particularly valuable for parents who wish to formalize their arrangements without contentious court proceedings, demonstrating their commitment to co-parenting effectively. The agreement must comply with Irish family law, including the Guardianship of Infants Act 1964 and the Children and Family Relationships Act 2015, while embodying the paramount principle of the best interests of the child. It typically includes comprehensive details about physical custody schedules, decision-making responsibilities, communication protocols, and arrangements for special occasions. While the agreement can be used as a standalone document, it may also form part of a broader separation agreement or be presented to court for judicial review and approval.
