PARENTING / CHILDREN
Many relationship breakdowns involve children which often presents the question - how a child or children will spend time with their mother or father post-separation?
Our Brisbane Family Lawyers will fight for you and the best interests of your children if you are experiencing a child custody dispute.
Our Brisbane Child Custody Lawyers assist with Parenting Agreements & Consent Orders where parties are in agreement.
The paramount consideration in all disputes involving children is the “child’s best interests”.
The overriding consideration in relation to any parenting dispute is to ensure that the best interests of children are met. This principle, often referred to as the “paramountcy principle” which means that the court will not make a parenting order — either by consent or after a contested hearing if it does not consider that order to be in a child’s best interests which is to be applied in all parenting matters such as in deciding whether to make a particular parenting 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 family violence proceedings.
Generally speaking, most parenting applications which go before the court (including consent orders) primarily concern the time that a child will “live with” or “spend time with” each parent.
Our Brisbane Family Lawyers are here to help. 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 so that you have a solid understanding of your rights and obligations as parent.
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.
