How We Help With Parenting Arrangements
We focus on practical, child-centred routines. If you have an agreement, we document it. If there is conflict or risk, we set a clear process and timeline so decisions reflect a child’s best interests.
Agree & Record
- Parenting Plans that reflect the current care pattern
- Consent Orders to make terms enforceable
- Clauses covering where the child lives and spends time
Disputes & Risk
- Family Court applications where required
- Contravention applications and responses
- Magellan (serious risk) matters
- Appeals where appropriate
International & Special Cases
- Relocation applications or responses
- Overseas travel conditions and passports
- Hague Convention applications for international abduction
- Grandparent and other carer applications
Arrangements for children can be made with or without going to court. Where the parties agree, use one of the following:

- Consent Orders — a written agreement approved by the court and enforceable as orders.
At Queensland Family Law Practice we try to make the process of obtaining Consent Orders or Parenting Plans as easy as possible.
Unfortunately, in some cases, Court intervention is necessary to decide an issue that cannot be resolved by the parties. In these cases, we explain the process to you in user-friendly terms without all the legal jargon. We are aware that the court process can be draining not only on you but also for the children and as such we try to get you through the process as quickly as possible.
Orders pertaining to children do not just deal with who the child lives with and who the child spends time with. Orders can be as broad or narrow as you choose. Generally orders also include clauses to cater for the following issues:
