An agreement must be reached concerning the children’s residence, both during and after the divorce.
This can be settled amicably or imposed by the Family Court when no agreement can be reached. Many parents aim for an equal shared residency for the children, the so-called ‘week-on-week arrangement,’ but this is not automatic.
Deviations can be made in the best interest of the child.
Depending on both parents’ income and the custody arrangement, one parent may need to pay child support to the other for the ordinary costs of care and upbringing.
In addition to child support, an agreement must also be made about the payment of extraordinary costs for the children, such as hobbies, holiday camps, certain medical expenses, and more.
