FAQs: Child Law & Custody
How does the court determine child custody arrangements?
The court always prioritises the child’s wellbeing and considers several factors, including the child’s emotional and physical needs, parental capabilities, the child’s own wishes (depending on their age and maturity), and the family’s circumstances, to ensure suitable arrangements.
Can custody arrangements be changed after they have been agreed upon?
Yes. Custody arrangements can be modified if situations significantly change, such as relocation, changes in employment, health issues, or if the current arrangements no longer meet the child’s best interests.
Do grandparents have a legal right to access their grandchildren?
If one parent breaches an existing order, the other parent can apply to the court for enforcement. Courts may impose penalties such as fines, community service orders, or reconsider custody arrangements to protect the child’s best interests.
What happens if a parent refuses to comply with a child arrangement order?
During the initial consultation, we thoroughly assess your dispute circumstances, evaluate the merits and risks involved, discuss your objectives, and offer strategic advice to inform your next steps and potential solutions available to you.
What should I do if my ex-partner wants to move abroad with our child?
If your former partner intends to relocate overseas with your child, they require your consent or a court order. If you disagree, you can challenge the move legally, and the court will carefully consider the child’s welfare and the impact of relocation on parental relationships.
