A court is not usually interested in why the marriage ended and tends to look more carefully at resources available to both parties and how they can be divided fairly.
A Child Arrangement Order or CAO is an agreement made under UK family law pertaining to where a child will live or who they can have contact with.

Solicitors are not allowed to represent you if they are a friend or family member, or have been associated with you as a couple during your marriage due to conflict of interest.
