Tag Archive for: C79 application

A C79 application is used in private family law proceedings to seek enforcement of an existing Child Arrangements Order where one party alleges that the order has been breached. It is not an opportunity to re-litigate the original decision, but a mechanism for the court to assess compliance, reasons for non-compliance, and whether enforcement action is appropriate.

Content under this tag explains when a C79 is suitable, what evidence the court expects, and the potential outcomes, including enforcement orders, variation, or no further action. It also addresses common pitfalls for litigants in person, such as using enforcement applications to raise new issues, failing to evidence breach clearly, or misunderstanding the court’s focus on proportionality and the child’s welfare.
