3. Do you want only access to the child? What type of access?
4. Who has been the main care-giver for most of the child’s life?
5. Who is the current care-giver?

8. What are your working hours or regular schedule?
9. What is the child’s favourite activity?
10. What do you talk about or do with your child?
11. How is the child’s relationship with you?
12. Are you in a relationship with a third party? If so, how is the child’s relationship with the third party?

14. If you only want access, what is the duration of access you wish to have?
15. If you have care and control, what type of access are you prepared to give?
