Why should we make a socialising agreement?
With a socialising agreement, you as parents can decide exactly when you should each have contact with your child. You can also decide how vacations and holidays should be distributed among you.
The social agreement also addresses more low-cost conditions, such as transport and costs associated with socialising. In addition, when you have made a social agreement, it will be possible for you as a parent to obtain assistance from family law if the agreements are not complied with. In this way, you are assured that the agreements are enforced in practice.
The socialising agreement thus not only provides security for you as parents, but equally to your child’s safety, as it reduces disagreement about the practicalities of being with your child and gives the child some more firm framework.
The child in the focus
Intercourse agreements are often drawn up in connection with the parents falling apart, and therefore there are often many emotions involved. However, it is important to keep in mind that the socialising agreement should focus on the child’s interests. It is therefore the child’s need that should be the focus, and not the parents’, when choosing how to shape the socialising agreement.
Who can use a socialising agreement?
This socialising agreement can be used by parents who cancel their cohabitation, are separated or divorced and have children together. It is important that there is agreement on how the togetherness should be designed and implemented.
Sharing system
When talking about one subsystem, that is, the child spends just as much time with both parents. Someone uses one 7/7 scheme, but it can in principle also be a 3/3 scheme, a 14/14 scheme or something completely third. The sharing scheme simply indicates that the parents share the relationship with the child equally.
A sharing scheme usually assumes that the parents live close to each other and that they have good cooperation so that the child’s daily life and general well-being are not affected by, which parent they are staying with. If there is doubt or if you cannot agree on what is best for your child, you can get help from family law House.
The agreement is binding
You should be aware that a social agreement, like other legal agreements, is binding. It is possible for the Family Law House to change an existing agreement if it is for the best of the child, but this happens very rarely and is a very cumbersome process. So the agreement is usually not changed unless you both agree on the changes. Therefore, it is important that you make an agreement that can be valid in the long term.
You always have the opportunity to agree on something other than what is stated in the agreement – if you agree. If a derogation from the agreement cannot be reached, the provisions of the agreement will always apply.
