Are you seeking a divorce or separation where there are children involved?
This is a difficult decision that no parent takes lightly. And, as a parent, you are the most important person in your child (or children’s) life.
As such, there is no one-size fits all approach when it comes to parenting arrangements due to divorce and separation.
The expert, personable team at Richardson Legal are here to provide you meaningful, transparent legal support. We will work with you to formulate and enact the best arrangements for your child(ren).
If both parental parties fail to agree on arrangements for their children after separation, specialist Mediation services in Perth can help you reach agreement.
When welcoming your child into the world and/or your home, it’s the responsibility of both parents to provide for them emotionally, socially and financially.
If parental separation occurs, regardless of who the child lives with, these responsibilities – especially financial – still remain.
The Department of Human Services is the governmental division tasked with administering the child support program by helping parents provide financial support for their children.
You can also seek further information on your obligations for child support, here.
This depends on whether you have a parenting order, parenting plan or informal arrangement in place. If it’s safe and legal to do so, it’s recommended to contact the other party (or parties) to address what you want to change, to see if they agree.
Alternatively, you can choose to communicate through your Perth family lawyers.
