Parenting Arrangements
Parenting arrangements can address a range of matters concerning the care, welfare and development of children.
Depending on the circumstances, arrangements may include:
• Where a child lives.
• Time spent with each parent.
• Communication between children and parents.
• Major long-term decisions concerning the child.
• Schooling, health and other important aspects of the child’s life.
• Holiday, travel and special occasion arrangements.
• Processes for resolving future disagreements.
The appropriate arrangements should focus on the child’s best interests and individual circumstances. Australian family law does not automatically provide an entitlement to equal time with children.
