In the above, Lord Pearson of Rannoch (Ukip) asked...
To ask Her Majesty's Government what records they keep on the outcomes for children who have been subject to child arrangements orders in the family courts since 2000; and how many of those orders setting out parenting time between a father and his children were broken in 2017.
The response from Lord Keen of Elie states...
Child Arrangements Orders replaced separate contact and residence orders in April 2014. The Department does not hold information on the outcomes for children who have been subject to such orders in the family courts. This information, including court ordered time with a father, could only be obtained by checking each court file at disproportionate cost. The Department does, however, publish information on the number of children who are the subject of applications and orders for enforcement in private law Children Act 1989 proceedings where a breach of an order is alleged. This is set out in Tables 3 and 4 of Family Court Statistics Quarterly available from www.gov.uk.
Comparing the number of applications for enforcement proceedings, against the number of CAO applications would give a snapshot of the situation.
