Tolcon Legal encourages separated parents to reach functional and fair parenting arrangements with outcomes which are in the best interests of children. We provide common-sense and creative solutions when you’re faced with complex problems.
We understand that reaching an amicable solution is not always possible, given the delicate nature of family law matters. We can assist in parenting disputes about the children’s living arrangements and how much time the children will spend with each of their parents, as well as a number of other child-related matters.
We have experience representing not only parents but also grandparents, whose rights to see their grandchildren are often overlooked when family relationships break down.
Where parties are unable to agree parenting arrangements, Tolcon Legal can provide advice in relation to each parent’s rights and responsibilities, as well as guidance to help clients to understand the legal process.
What about conflicts about where the children go to school?
The law presumes that both parents have equal shared parental responsibility for their children. This means that there is a requirement to for parties to make a joint decision about major long-term issues, covering areas such as the children’s care, welfare and development.
Is going to court the only option?
Wherever possible, Tolcon Legal will advance negotiations and alternative dispute resolution in order to achieve the most practical parenting arrangement.
In some circumstances, commencing litigation in the family court may be necessary. These circumstances can include:
- Cases involving allegations of serious sexual abuse;
- Serious allegations of physical abuse of a child or severe family violence;
- International child abduction;
- International relocation;
- Contravention applications relating to orders previously made in the family court; and
- Special medical procedures.
At the heart of our approach to all child-related matters, is the desire to advance the best interests of children and to ensure their protection – this aligns with the primary considerations of the Family Law Act.
