FAMILY LAW

Children’s Matters

In making orders for where the children will live and when they will see the other parent, the Court must determine what is in the best interests of the child.

The Family Law Act contains those factors to be considered in determining what is in the best interests of the child and include the: -

  • Wishes of the child;
  • Nature of relationship of the child with each parent;
  • Capacity of each parent to provide for the child’s needs;
  • Protection of the child from physical/psychological harm;
  • Issue of possibility of family violence.

We are able to listen to and understand your particular circumstances before advising on and representing your interests to achieve appropriate orders for you.
