The Family Law Act 1975 requires the parties to consider many factors. Including:
- Each of the parties’ financial and non-financial contributions to the relationship.
- The length of the relationship.
- The future needs of the parties.
- The construction of the matrimonial asset pool.
- What is ‘just and equitable’.

When a family court is making a decision about a child, the court will make an order that is in the best interests of the child.
Many factors are considered. It’s often best to consult an expert child custody lawyer to find out how this may affect you.
Parenting arrangements are an important part of our child custody services, to help you navigate custody disputes while ensuring the best possible outcome for your child during a difficult time in your life.
