Parenting arrangements are often the most important and sensitive part of a separation. Decisions made now can have a lasting impact on your children and your family.

At Haven Family Law, our parenting lawyers on the Sunshine Coast give clear, structured advice on where children will live, how time is shared, parental responsibility, relocation and changing existing arrangements. We assist with parenting plans, Consent Orders and, where necessary, Court proceedings. The Court’s paramount consideration is the best interests of the child, including their safety.

Where possible, we encourage resolution without going to Court, and in most cases Family Dispute Resolution is required before applying. When disputes arise, we provide measured, strategic representation. If there are safety concerns, see our domestic violence advice.
