When parents split, parenting can become difficult. 

A few scenarios in parenting matters can be: 

• You have a 1 year old with your ex and they want equal time right now - what can you do? Your baby screams and cries being away from you - do you have to give them over?
• Your 12 year old says to you that they hate being with the other parent but you have Court Orders saying that time must be spent on certain days - what do you do? 
• Your ex assaulted you and now your children are frightened of going to them. There is ADVO naming and protecting you but not the kids … what do you do? 
• You have no Court Orders but are scared that your ex will come and collect the kids early from school - now what? 
• You want to relocate from Sydney to Brisbane - are you allowed? 
• Can you change where you children live, go to school, change their names? 
• Your children are in their late teens - do you even bother? 
• Your child wants to transition genders but you and the other parent cannot agree - what do you do? 
• Your ex uses drugs and has a criminal history - can you get sole custody and prevent the other parent from ever seeing the kids?

Why do you need a lawyer?

Negotiating parenting issues is not like negotiating money. What you agree or disagree on with your ex can have lasting impacts not only for the parents but for your children. The right agreements need to be put together to make sure children transition well in a separation. Lawyers can help with agreements and also, prevent children from being moved to unwanted places or countries. Don't leave this to chance.
