PARENTING, CHILD ORDERS AND DNA TESTING

Parenting Child Orders

Parenting arrangements concerning children can be made with or without the intervention of a Court.  There are 2 ways to finalise arrangements for children where the parties agree, namely: (1) Parenting Plans; and (2) Consent Orders.

We practice in all areas of family law involving children including:

• Parenting Plans
• Consent Orders
• Who the child is to live with
• Who the child spends time with
• Relocation Orders
• Contravention Orders
• Magellan (Child Abuse) Matters
• Overseas Travel
• Grandparent Applications
• Hague Convention Applications
• Appeals

DNA Testing

In some cases the failure to obtain a DNA test can result in someone paying Child Support when they are not the biological father of the child.

In cases where the other party does not agree to a DNA test then we can seek Orders on your behalf to compel the other party to attend for a DNA test.
