Child Custody & Parenting Matters – Expert Legal Support in Australia
Helping You Secure the Best Outcome for Your Child
When parents separate, determining child custody and parenting arrangements can be one of the most emotionally challenging aspects of family law. At Jim’s Legal, we understand how important it is to protect your child’s best interests while ensuring fair and workable agreements for both parents.
Our experienced family lawyers provide clear, compassionate, and legally sound advice to help you navigate the complexities of parenting plans, custody disputes, child support, and court orders.
Legal Parenting Arrangements in Australia
In Australia, the Family Law Act 1975 prioritizes the child’s well-being and best interests when making custody decisions. Courts encourage shared parental responsibility, ensuring that both parents play a role in their child’s upbringing, unless circumstances prove otherwise.
There are different types of parenting arrangements:
✔ Parenting Plans – Informal, written agreements between parents regarding child custody and care.
✔ Consent Orders – Legally binding agreements approved by the court.
✔ Parenting Orders – Court-imposed arrangements if parents cannot agree.
✔ Sole or Shared Parental Responsibility – Deciding who makes major decisions about the child’s welfare, education, and healthcare.
