Parenting & Family Law
A Parenting Plan is a document that is used to clarify the arrangements for the care of children. It is a great document to utilise in circumstances where the parties can agree on the care of a child and is useful in facilitating a positive co-parenting relationship.
A Parenting Plan can include directions on issues such as whether one parent will have sole parental responsibility, or whether both parents will have shared parental responsibility, as well as the time the children will spend with each parent.
A Parenting Plan can be very useful to lay out the agreed care arrangements for the children, to avoid confusion or conflict between the parents. It can also be amended by agreement between the parents if circumstances change in the future. However, Parenting Plans are not lodged with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and are therefore not legally enforceable.Family Focus Legal’s team of experienced Camden solicitors have extensive knowledge in preparing Parenting Plans and can assist in preparing these documents.
