Which parent has the legal right to have the child or the children of the family live with them?

18/02/2022

The starting point is that either parent, as long as they have Parental Responsibility, can legally have the children living with them, assuming there is no Child Arrangements Order (‘CAO’) setting out that the children live with the other parent. If the location of the children’s residence is in dispute, either party can apply for a CAO.
