‘Section 1(2A) of the Children Act 1989, as amended in 2014, states that, with regard to applications for child arrangements orders under Section 8:
A court … is as respects each parent … to presume, unless the contrary is shown, that involvement of that parent in the life of the child concerned will further the child’s welfare.’
