Parenting Arrangements

Your child’s best interests

We understand that all families are different, and no parent is perfect. Our expert family lawyers are here to support you through separation with empathy and compassion.

Managing (and, where possible, protecting) your co-parenting relationship in the early stages of separation may very well have a lifelong impact on your child’s wellbeing.

It’s important to understand that parenting arrangements are not about parental rights but about what is in the best interests of the child. As circumstances change, these arrangements may also need to be adjusted, and both parents should remain flexible and focused on the well-being of their children.

Most Australians do not need a Court to decide their parenting arrangements.

It is estimated that only 3% of separated parents require the Courts to decide their parenting arrangements. However, roughly 1 in 6 parents do use family dispute resolution or lawyers to reach agreement.

Going to Court is a long, stressful and extraordinarily expensive process.

Our lawyers will explore every opportunity to keep you and your children out of Court, and focussing on what really matters.
