Parenting Arrangements for Children After Separation

The most important thing in family law is what is best for the children. When parents separate, it can be a stressful and uncertain time for everyone involved. Clear plans for the children help provide stability and reduce conflict. They also help children know what to expect and feel more secure as family arrangements change.

We help parents put practical arrangements in place that focus on their children’s needs. We aim to help families reach workable agreements early and reduce unnecessary stress. If you cannot reach agreement, we explain your options and the next steps.

• Parenting Plans & Consent Orders – We help parents write down arrangements for their children after separation. These can be informal agreements or formal consent orders approved by the Court.

• Parental Responsibility & Decision-Making – We help parents resolve disagreements about major decisions, such as schooling, medical care and religion. 

• Child Support & Maintenance – We explain child support, how much you may pay or receive, and how arrangements can change if your circumstances change.

• Relocation & Travel Disputes – We help parents who want to move with their children or travel interstate or overseas after separation.
