Parenting Matters FAQs
What is the court’s main consideration in parenting matters?
The court’s primary focus is the best interests of the child, including their safety, wellbeing, and meaningful relationship with both parents.
Do I need to go to court to resolve parenting issues?
Not always. Many parenting matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation without the need for court proceedings.
What is a parenting plan?
A parenting plan is a written agreement between parents outlining arrangements for the care of their children, including living arrangements and time spent with each parent.
What happens if we cannot agree on parenting arrangements?
If an agreement cannot be reached, you may need to apply to the court for parenting orders. We can guide and represent you through this process.
Can a parent relocate with a child?
Relocation can be complex and often requires agreement between parents or court approval, particularly if it impacts the child’s relationship with the other parent.
