Organising your Children After Separation

Reaching an agreement with your ex-partner about your children can be very difficult. It can be stressful and the relationship between you can reach the stage where you need help to work through the issues.

This is where we, West Coast Perth Family Lawyers, can step in and help you to negotiate and sort through issues such as:

  • Where and who the child/children will live with;
  • Who will make the big important decisions such as schooling;
  • When can you travel overseas with your child/children; and
  • When can you move or relocate to another place with your child/children.

We will provide you with the guidance so that you have a clear understanding of your legal obligations and rights.

I have seen Tannis several times for legal advice for the last 2 years. Until early this year I finally decided to go through with my legal separation.

Tannis was so understanding and accommodating. During this emotional and stressful process she made it easy for me. I highly recommend Tannis and the team.

We negotiate with both sides to avoid costly litigation and provide a better outcome for you


 

We will help you to navigate your way through this difficult time and to sort out your arrangements into a parenting order or a parenting plan.

As parenting orders will be enforceable by the Court, we will make sure the orders are written so the Court can understand them and they are enforceable.

We will walk you through this process and provide you with advice on any issues about your children.
