Your Roadmap to Co-Parenting
Building a Foundation for Your Children's Future
A parenting plan is a comprehensive written agreement that outlines how you and your former partner will raise your children after separation or divorce. It serves as a plan for your children’s future, addressing key aspects of their lives and ensuring their needs are met by both parents, even though you’re no longer together. This document provides stability and predictability for your children during a time of transition and emotional upheaval, minimising conflict between parents by establishing clear guidelines for decision-making, communication, and co-parenting responsibilities.
Within this plan, you’ll address crucial matters such as where your children will live, whether they’ll reside primarily with one parent or split their time between both households. You’ll also outline how you’ll share parental responsibilities, including making decisions about your children’s education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. A strong parenting plan also establishes clear expectations for communication and contact between your children and both parents, including how holidays and special occasions will be handled.
Finally, your parenting plan will include mechanisms for resolving any future disagreements that may arise. This proactive approach helps to minimise conflict and ensures that decisions are made with your children’s best interests in mind. We’ll guide you through the process of creating a parenting agreement plan that reflects your unique family dynamics and prioritises your children’s well-being.
While parenting plans are not enforceable, they will be relevant in future matters if they proceed to Court. Depending on the nature of the relationship, parenting plans may not be the most suitable agreement for you. We will help you to decide.
Why a Parenting Plan Matters
The Power of Planning
A well-crafted parenting plan is a tool for ensuring your children’s well-being during and after separation. It provides stability and predictability for your children during a challenging time, reducing anxiety and helping them adjust to their new family dynamic. By establishing clear guidelines for co-parenting, it minimises conflict between parents and fosters a cooperative environment where both parents can remain actively involved in their children’s lives. Ultimately, it helps to create a sense of security and normalcy for your children, allowing them to thrive despite the changes in their family structure.

We’ll work closely with you to understand your family’s unique dynamics and develop a plan that prioritises your children’s best interests.
Initial Parenting Plan Drafting
Starting the process of creating a parenting plan can be daunting. We’ll guide you through each step, helping you identify key issues, understand your legal options, and negotiate effectively with the other parent. We’ll then draft a comprehensive and legally sound parenting plan that reflects your agreed-upon terms and prioritises your children’s well-being.
Addressing Unique Family Dynamics
We recognize that not all families fit a standard mould. We have extensive experience handling complex situations and incorporating specific considerations into parenting plans, such as:
- Relocation: Addressing the complexities of one parent relocating with the children, whether interstate or overseas.
- Special Needs: Incorporating provisions to address the unique needs of children with disabilities or special medical requirements.
- High-Conflict Separations: Developing strategies to minimise conflict and protect children from parental disputes.
Parenting Plan Modification
Life is dynamic, circumstances change. We can assist you with modifying an existing plan to reflect new realities, such as changes in your children’s needs, your living arrangements, or your financial circumstances. We’ll ensure the modification process is handled smoothly and efficiently, minimising disruption for your children.
Enforcement of Parenting Orders
If one parent is not adhering to the terms of the agreement, we can advise you on the pre-step court procedures required before commencing proceedings. We’ll advocate for your rights and ensure your children’s best interests are protected.
Mediation and Dispute Resolution
We believe in amicable solutions whenever possible. We’ll act as skilled negotiators at mediation, helping you and the other parent reach mutually agreeable solutions through collaborative discussions. If an agreement cannot be reached through mediation, we’ll provide strong representation in court to ensure your rights and your children’s needs are protected.
