A parenting order is an order or set of orders made by a court outlining the parenting arrangements for a child, or children. A court can make an order based on an agreement between both parties (consent orders) or after a court trial or hearing. Once a parenting order is put into effect, each person affected under the order must follow it.
A consent order differs slightly from a parenting order in that it is based on the consent, or agreement of both parties. It outlines what must be done, and is formalised by the court.
A parenting plan is an informal outline of parental responsibilities and expectations outlined and agreed upon by both parties. A parenting plan may be verbal or written (although written is preferable). It is signed and dated, but it is not a legally enforceable agreement.
To apply for a parenting order, you must file the proper paperwork with the court. Before filing an application for parenting orders, you are required to participate in various pre-action procedures, which include attendance at a Family Dispute Resolution Conference. The Family Law Act 1975 requires that you obtain a certificate from a registered family dispute resolution practitioner. This must be acquired before you file an application with the Court.
Parenting orders can be complex. It is recommended that you seek professional guidance before you begin to understand the process and your rights and responsibilities as a parent.
While a parent does not need a lawyer for a parenting plan, it is a good idea to get advice before agreeing to one. As a parenting order must go through the court system, which has its own complexities, if you are in the process of developing or signing off on a parenting order, it is always advisable to obtain the opinion of a professional who understands the intricacies of the law. This ensures the best interests of the child are addressed and that you as a parent understand your rights and responsibilities.
Areas that may be covered under a parenting order include:
Financial settlement, parenting orders, and child support are each their own separate legal matters. Parenting orders are submitted to the court and therefore deal only with parenting-related issues, and not child support.
