What do you do if you have no custody agreement?
If you do not have a Court Order that the children live with you, you should still try to speak to the other parent and see if you can reach an agreement. If you cannot reach an agreement then you can apply to the Court for a Recovery Order and at the same time you should apply for Parenting Orders.
