Where will the children live?

Married parents both have parental responsibility for any children, so they both have equal rights. This is regardless of where the children live, and with whom. If you cannot agree living arrangements for your children between you and your spouse, then one of you may need to apply to the court during the divorce proceedings for a Residence Order, as the court will have to decide on the issue. The court might also make a Contact Order which states how often the non-resident parent should see the children.
