Child & Parenting Issues

Upon separation, parents must consider a variety of arrangements for their children.

The more common of these include:
  • With whom the child lives - previously known as custody or residence
  • The extent to which the child can live with both parents - otherwise known as shared care, joint custody or joint residence
  • The quantity and character of time that the child spends with the non-residential parent - otherwise known as visitation, access or contact
  • The extent to which parents will make decisions affecting their children together or unilaterally - parental responsibility
  • With whom the child should spend special days including their birthday, their parent's birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas and Easter
  • How handover is conducted
  • The extent to which the children communicate with their parents by telephone
