Parenting
Parenting Law in Australia
In Australia the term “parenting” is used in place of “child custody”
– but they generally mean the same thing legally speaking.
When parents separate from one another, Australian family law steps in to ensure
the best interests of the children are protected no matter what. The interests of
parents are not considered by the courts except insofar as they relate to enhancing
the welfare of their children.
The law surrounding parenting in Australia – particularly around who will have primary
care of children – is complex and drafting a parenting plan is a detailed and complicated
task which can have significant implications for a child’s development. For
this reason legal advice should always be sought when children are involved in a
separation.
