Frequently Asked Questions

What factors do courts consider in parenting arrangements?

Under the Family Law Act 1975, the court's primary consideration is the best interests of the child. This includes the benefit of having a meaningful relationship with both parents, protection from harm, and the child's views depending on their age and maturity.

What is the difference between parenting orders and consent orders?

Parenting orders are made by the court after a hearing. Consent orders are agreements reached between parents that are then approved and formalised by the court. Both are legally binding and enforceable.

Can I relocate with my child after separation?

Relocating with a child after separation requires either the written consent of the other parent or a court order. If you move without consent or a court order, the other parent can apply for the child's return. We recommend seeking legal advice before making any relocation plans.
