PARENTING PLAN LAWYERS PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY’S BEST INTERESTS

Going through a separation when children are involved can be a scary, worrying time. Even amicable break-ups can become difficult when making care arrangements for separated parents. Whether you want to secure primary care to protect your children or come to a shared care agreement, you’ll likely be faced with anxiety about finances and adjusting to new family life.

But talking to a professional can help. Our lawyers in Geelong are experienced in parenting arrangements, usually called “child custody” in the US and some other parts of the world. We focus on the best interests of the children and the responsibilities of each parent, so children can enjoy a meaningful relationship with both parents.

Ultimately, we’ll support you to ensure a fair outcome that’s in the best interests of your children, so you can look forward to a happy life after your separation.
