Where your children will live and how time is shared between both parents on a day-to-day and holiday basis.
Who makes major long-term decisions about your children's education, health, religion, and extracurricular activities.
Interstate and international relocation applications — whether you are seeking to move or opposing a proposed relocation.
Parenting cases involving allegations of family violence, risk to children, or intervention orders that affect contact.
Legal issues involving disputed parentage, DNA testing, and establishing parental rights and responsibilities.
Recovery orders when a child has been withheld, and contravention applications when existing court orders are being breached.

If agreement is reached, we formalise the arrangements through consent orders filed with the court, giving them the same legal force as court-imposed orders.
If court proceedings are necessary, we are experienced advocates who will present your case with thorough preparation and clear, persuasive submissions focused on your children's best interests.
No. Australian family law does not favour either parent on the basis of gender. The court considers what arrangements are in the best interests of the child based on the specific facts of each case.
