Short answer
Divorce and separate living do not automatically terminate parental rights and duties. Contact consistent with the child’s interests may be arranged by agreement or an appropriate court claim.
Practical example
A parent refuses meetings solely because of personal conflict. A specific proposed schedule and refusal correspondence clarify the facts.
What to do
Propose meetings, holidays and communication in writing, tailored to the child’s routine. Keep agreements and refusals and assess health and safety.
Points to consider
Contact rights do not authorise taking the child unilaterally. Violence or harm risks call for consideration of protective measures.
