Partners separating custody and access to children
When partners with children separate there are up to three things that need to be sorted;
1. Who is going to look after the children?
2. Who is going to have access to the children?
3. How any property is to be split up?
As from 1 June 2005 the law relating to care of children was changed. Custody orders, access orders and guardianship orders are all now called Parenting Orders if made by the Family Court or Parenting Agreements where both partners can agree. The lawyers at
The Law Store can prepare parenting agreements and apply to the Family Court for parenting orders.
At The Law Store we have a lot of experience in assisting clients come to an agreement over relationship property. Our first choice is to settle on a friendly basis otherwise will take your case to the Family Court to settle the matter.
