Frequently asked questions

Court proceedings in Parenting and Child Support matters can become necessary, particularly when parents cannot reach agreement through negotiation or mediation. Whether your situation will require a court appearance depends on several factors, including the nature of the disagreement, the complexity of parenting arrangements or financial issues, how cooperative both parties are in reaching settlement, and your location across Australia. Many Parenting and Child Support disputes are resolved without formal court involvement through discussion, mediation, or alternative dispute resolution processes. However, if these attempts fail or one party contests the arrangements, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia or Family Court of Australia may need to intervene to make binding decisions on custody, contact, or support obligations.

A lawyer can advise whether court involvement is required and which court or tribunal applies to your situation.
