Abstract
This case file study explored the typical patterns of parental involvement in post-separation parenting arrangements finalised by court order. It is estimated that 9%–13% of parents resort to court to arrange their post breakdown parenting patterns (A Blackwell and F Dawe, Non-Resident Parental Contact (ONS, 2003), at p 39). We selected five county courts (which we code-named Ambledune, Borgate, Cladford, Dunam and Esseborne), and looked at 197 case files which began as applications for a s 8 order and were recorded as ending in a final order between February and August 2011. The purpose of this selection was not to achieve generalisable results but rather to ensure that we encountered as many of the different types of issues that affect the use of contact and residence orders as possible. As current policy is to divert as many cases as possible away from court it is important to understand how cases that reached court were handled during this period.
