Document background
A 50/50 Custody Agreement is essential when separating or divorced parents wish to establish legally documented equal custody arrangements in England and Wales. This document type is specifically designed to create a clear framework for shared parenting, detailing everything from daily schedules to major decision-making processes. The agreement must comply with the Children Act 1989 and consider the child's best interests as paramount. It's particularly useful when parents maintain an amicable relationship and can cooperate in their children's upbringing, wanting to ensure equal involvement in their children's lives.
