### **Understanding Child Arrangement Orders**
A **Child Arrangement Order (CAO)** is a legally binding court order that sets out:
– **Where a child will live**
– **How much time they spend with each parent**
– **Whether contact is direct or indirect**
– **Holiday schedules and special occasions**
– **How parental responsibility is shared**
The order replaces the old terms “custody” and “access,” focusing instead on the child’s wellbeing and stability.
If parents cannot agree through mediation or communication, a CAO becomes an essential tool to ensure the child’s needs are protected.
