Children
Our lawyers are able to assist you with decisions
concerning:
· Who your children
will live with and care
arrangements;
· When/where/how much
time each child will spend with each
parent;
· Who will decide major long-term decisions about the
children, such as education, religion, cultural upbringing, changes to the
child’s living arrangements and the child’s health;
· How and when each
parent may contact the children;
· The impact of family violence on care arrangements;
· The consideration
to be given to children’s wishes;
· What happens when a
child is not returned; and
· Whether you or your
partner intend on relocating with or
taking your children overseas.
Our lawyers are also able to assist where there has
been a significant change in your circumstances that render a former parenting
order or agreement impractical. We also offer assistance and advice on the
rights of non-parents, such as grandparents.
At Rankin Ellison, we offer expert support and
guidance to ensure that you are well informed of your rights and obligations in
relation to your children. Where parties are willing to reach an agreement out
of Court, our lawyers will ensure that your interests are not taken advantage
of. In the event that parties cannot reach an agreement, our family lawyers
have extensive experience appearing before the Family Court of Australia and
Federal Magistrates Court of Australia and are able to effectively advise,
negotiate and advocate on your behalf.
