Are you navigating post-divorce parenting arrangements, or the complexities of family court custody issues in Australia? Learn from this insightful episode from a seasoned family law accredited specialist expert with over 35 years in family law. Where you’ll explore the critical topic: "Best Interests of the Children." Whilst we don't claim to be child psychologists, we will shed light on what this concept means in the eyes of the Family Court, providing valuable educational guidance for a concerned parent just like you.

 Discover how the family court evaluates factors like relationships with both parents, the views of children (considering age and maturity), financial and emotional contributions post-separation, and practical changes in routines. 

Are you navigating post-divorce parenting arrangements, or the complexities of family court custody issues? 

In this episode we will address "What will happen to my children? How does the court decide? What's truly best for them?" While we can't replace personalised legal advice, we offer clarity and educational confidence in understanding your children's potential paths during divorce or separation in the eyes of the Family Court in Australia.

Please note this is general education only, this is not legal advice. Please always seek independent legal advice as everyone’s situation is different.
