Care of Children Matters

Where parents cannot agree about the care arrangements for their children the Family Court can assist by making Parenting Orders which specify which parent (or other person) has the children in their care at certain times.

Previously known as “custody” and “access” these terms have been replaced by the concepts of “day to day care” and “contact”.

There are also a number of other solutions available to parents who do not wish to involve the Family Court. We can go through all the options available to you including the preparation of a Parenting Agreement, as well as exploring other dispute-resolution processes such as mediation.
