Specific Issue Order
If you and your partner cannot decide about
other issues to do with the children, for
example, what school they should go to,
whether to change their surname, whether
they should have a major operation etc., you
can apply to the court and let them decide.
This is called a "Specific Issue Order".
Or, if the children have been removed from
your care you may need a Specific Issue
Order telling your partner that they must be
returned to you. |
