Petition

Change to the laws surrounding child arrangement orders to be more clear.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To have clear guidelines set out in each individual child arrangement order. To set out what exactly is allowed and not allowed. To protect the children even more than it is now.
For example a child arrangement order now will state... no direct or indirect contact.
This needs to be amended. It should have things in that state the parent with no contact can not steal pictures of the child. Can not share pictures of the child. Can not like pictures of the child. Having no contact but being able to distribute pictures of said child should be a part of the arrangement.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about child arrangement orders are a matter for the courts, not the UK Government or Parliament.
