If you are a parent who has recently separated from their partner and you have children with them, you may be starting to navigate how to put some care arrangements in place for your children. Or, you may have been separated for some time and are considering pathways to resolve your current parenting dispute, or looking to what future arrangements will be best for your children.

Recently there have been changes to the Family Law Act 1975 (the Act), via the Family Law Amendment Act 2023 (FLAA) about parenting matters. Most of the changes as a result of the FLAA will take effect from 6 May 2024.
