1. About the current child arrangements order
If you have a child arrangements order (originally a contact order) that was made before 8 December 2008
you may apply for a warning notice to be attached to the child arrangements order. Your original order will be
treated as a child arrangements order from 22 Apil 2014.
A warning notice explains that if a person does not comply with the child arrangements order the court may
ne or imprison them for contempt of court, or may make an enforcement order or an order for nancial
compensation. You cannot apply for an enforcement order or for nancial compensation regarding
any person’s failure to comply with the child arrangements order if this failure took place before that
person had been given a copy of the order with the warning notice attached or informed of the terms
of the warning notice.

court case number or a copy of the order is submitted.
