When we talk about children in family law, custody is no longer a legal definition used. Instead, child arrangements are used to decide how a child lives and spends their time with each parent.
As part of our commitment to reducing conflict in family law disputes, we'll always look to reach the best possible resolution for everyone involved – most of all the child in question.
We encourage divorcing parties to consider separating well with mediation, which helps co-parents work together, resolve disputes, and improve communication. Perhaps most importantly, it promotes decision-making in a child-centred manner.
