On 22 April, a number of changes in English & Welsh family law took place including: - creation of the Family Court - introduction of child arrangements orders to replace residence & contact orders - you will have to consider mediation if you make a court application about arrangements for your children or financial proceedings following divorce or dissolution - in divorce or dissolution proceedings, the court will no longer consider the arrangements for the children - introduction of a 26-week time limit for care & supervision proceedings - when making a care order, the court will be required to focus on the parts of the care plan setting out the long-term plans for the upbringing of a child - changes in the contact provisions between adopted children and their birth family, former guardians and others.
