Question

What exactly and how does a residency order work

Answer 1

if it relates to children it's an order of the court stating who the child will reside with

Answer 2

are we talking immigration or child issues here?

Answer 3

A Residence order settles with whom the child lives and not to whom the child belongs. It also provides Parental Responsibility to the holder of the order for the lifetime of the order.

The residence order usually lasts until the child turns 16 years of age unless due to exceptional circumstances there is justifiable reason that the order be extended beyond the child’s 16th birthday.

It is possible to grant a Residence order to more than one individual. In this case, the specific period of stay with each of the holder of the order is specified by the courts.

However, the holder of the order does not have the right to change the surname of the children nor can the holder travel outside of the country with the child without the written consent of all those with Parental Responsibility or by a Court Order except when the travel is for a period not to exceed one month.
