Parenting & Child Custody Lawyers | South Sydney & St George
Wallen Family Law assists families across South Sydney, St George and neighbouring southern Sydney areas with Parenting Orders and child custody arrangements that provide structure, stability and care after separation.
What are Parenting Orders?
Parenting Orders are made by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. They set out:
Where children live,
How much time they spend with each parent,
School holiday and special occasion arrangements,
Who makes decisions about education, health, and other major issues.
Why Parenting Orders matter
Parenting Orders are legally binding and enforceable. If one parent doesn’t follow them, the other can seek enforcement. Orders also provide stability and clarity for children, which is often the most important factor after separation.
Parenting Plans vs Parenting Orders
While Parenting Plans can work for cooperative parents, they are not enforceable. Parenting Orders give certainty, particularly where there’s conflict or safety concerns.
