Parenting Matters
Without a doubt, one of the most difficult aspects of navigating a relationship breakdown is reaching an agreement on the future care, living, and parenting arrangements for your children.
A parenting plan is a written agreement signed by both parents that details every aspect of a child’s care, upbringing, and welfare. Because it is a voluntary agreement, it is not legally binding (unlike a consent order) and thus provides more flexibility. A parenting plan can help separated parents reach an agreement regarding their child’s care and best interests.
Family law can be a difficult topic to traverse, and seeking specialised legal assistance is critical to ensuring that your children’s best interests are considered. Strategic Lawyers Townsville will give the advice and guidance you require during this difficult time, always acting in the best interests of your children.
There are two options for finalising parenting and custody arrangements for your children: a voluntary (and informal) parenting plan or a legally enforceable (and formal) consent order. While both contracts may contain information about your children’s future care, welfare, and development, the key distinction between the two is that a consent order is legally enforceable and hence cannot be readily amended. It is also punishable if it is broken.
Both parenting plans and consent orders have advantages and disadvantages, so it’s critical that you get specific, expert advice on which choice is best for your family’s circumstances. We will provide solid counsel and honest advice on your parenting consent order and parenting plan choices, as with all of our family law services, and we will always act in the best interests of your children. Get in contact with our family law specialists today to take the next step in your legal journey.
