PARENTING
Our Brisbane Family Lawyers understand the complexities of child custody and parenting disputes. Many relationship breakdowns involve children which often raises the question - who will our child or children live with ? How often can I spend time with our child/ren post-separation?
In evaluating this question, our Brisbane Family Lawyers consider your position and the best interests of your children and where possible assist with formalising a Parenting Plan or minutes of consent (Consent Orders) to facilitate agreement.
Where this is not possible, our family lawyers will advocate on your behalf with a view to settling the matter in a fast and cost effective manner.
The overriding consideration in relation to any parenting dispute is to ensure that the best interests of the child/ren are met. This principle, often referred to as the “paramountcy principle” means any court considering a child custody matter will not make a parenting order either by consent or after a contested hearing if it does not consider the order to be in the best interests of the child which is to be applied in all parenting matters such as in deciding whether to make a particular parenting order such as a sole custody or shared care order, in deciding proposed variations to a parenting plan, in deciding whether to grant leave to commence adoption proceedings or in deciding whether to vary parenting orders in circumstances of family violence.
Generally speaking, most parenting applications which go before the court primarily concern the time that a child will “live with” or “spend time with” each parent and where avoidable our Brisbane Family Lawyers will work with you to settle any dispute.
Our Brisbane Family Lawyers are here to help you navigate the complexities of co-parenting and child custody disputes. There is wide scope for all types of living arrangements that can potentially be made for a child and each parenting case will be determined on its own particular facts. Notwithstanding this, the way in which a court will decide “live with” and “spend time with” applications will always be influenced by factors including the way in which parental responsibility is allocated and the existence of any family violence.
It is always best to speak with an experienced family lawyer before engaging in negotiations with a former partner in respect of child custody matters so that you have a holistic understanding of the rights and obligations in child custody dispute matters.
child support
Child support is a term used to describe the payment of money from one parent to the other for the purpose of helping the parent raise their children who are under 18 years of age. All children in Australia whose parents have separated, whether or not the parents were married to each other, are eligible for child support payments. A child is defined as under 18 years of age.
Whilst a Government system has been created to facilitate the payment and receipt of child support payments, a child support agreement could also be considered.
