FAQs
Child custody in Australia is determined based on the best interests of the child. Courts take into account the child's age, wishes (if mature enough), each parent's ability to support the child's needs, any history of family violence, and the child's relationship with both parents. The goal is to assure the child's safety, well-being, and meaningful relationships with both parents, if appropriate.
The time of the child custody process can vary greatly depending on factors such as case complexity, parental cooperation, and court scheduling. The process can last several months to over a year, especially if issues require mediation or court intervention. Reaching a deal outside of court is usually faster (weeks or months).
Yes, we assist with obtaining child consent orders, which formalise agreed-upon parenting arrangements without the need for court intervention. This provides a legally binding agreement on custody, visitation, and other parental responsibilities, ensuring clarity and stability for both parents and children.
Yes, grandparents may ask for custody or access to their grandchildren in specific circumstances. In Australia, grandparents may obtain court orders for custody or visitation if it is in the child's best interests. The court will consider a variety of considerations, including the nature of the grandparent-child connection, the child's well-being, and the parents' perspectives.
Yes, we can assist in modifying an existing child custody order. If circumstances have changed significantly, such as a parent's relocation or change in job, or the child's requirements have changed substantially, it may be possible to request a modification of the existing custody agreement. Our child custody lawyers can help you navigate the process and advocate for your interests in obtaining a modification.
