Legal Considerations
Parenting Plans
A parenting plan is a written agreement that sets out the parenting arrangements for a child. It covers issues such as where the child will live, how much time they will spend with each parent, and how major decisions regarding the child will be made.
Parental Responsibilities
Under Australian law, both parents have a responsibility to care for and support their children. This includes providing financial support, making decisions in the child’s best interests, and fostering a positive relationship with the child.
Parenting Orders
If parents are unable to reach an agreement on parenting arrangements, the court may need to intervene and make parenting orders. These orders are legally binding and must be followed by both parties.
FAQs
1. What factors does the court consider when making parenting arrangements?
The court considers the best interests of the child, including their relationship with each parent, their safety and well-being, and their views (if they are old enough to express them).
2. Can parenting arrangements be changed?
Yes, parenting arrangements can be changed if there has been a significant change in circumstances that warrants a modification. It is important to seek legal advice before making any changes.
