Legal Expertise with Child Custody Arrangements
Negotiating child custody arrangements can be a highly emotional and stressful experience. Our starting point will always be what is in the child’s best interests.
Whether you are going through a divorce or separation, or are seeking to modify existing parenting arrangements, Movement Legal is here to provide guidance and support to ensure the best outcome for you and your children.
Steps to Achieve a Legally Enforceable Custody Arrangement
For separated parents, establishing a legally binding and child-centred custody arrangement is essential.
Follow these straightforward steps to get started:
Participate in Family Dispute Resolution
Before going to court, both parties in a divorce must participate in Family Dispute Resolution (FDR). This approach allows for the discussion and negotiation of parenting and child care arrangements, with the goal of reaching mutually acceptable solutions.
Formalise Your Parenting Agreement
If you successfully establish an agreement during the conference regarding your parenting plans and child care arrangements, you can proceed to formalise this agreement through either an informal parenting plan or a formally court-ordered consent order.
Request a Parenting Order
If an agreement cannot be reached, you can file for a parental order. This court-issued legal directive describes how children should be cared for following a separation or divorce.
When a court issues a parenting order, all parties involved are legally bound to follow its provisions.
Understand the Legal Implications
It is vital to understand the legal distinctions: a parenting plan is not a court order, but both consent orders and parenting orders come under the jurisdiction of the court. As a result, if one party fails to meet the agreed-upon obligations, the other parent may seek legal redress.
