Your Rights as a Father
WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE?
In Australia, the law is clear for fathers: you have the right to a meaningful relationship with your child.
When you are not aware of your rights, your relationship with your children can be put in jepardy.
Under Australian legislation, fathers have equal shared parental responsibility, and have a say in significant decisions concerning your children’s care, welfare and development. There is no assumption that one parent is better than the other.
CHILDREN HAVE RIGHTS TOO
It is not only fathers that have that right, but children also have the right to a relationship with their father. Meaning that a child has the right to spend time with both parents.
The most important thing in the eyes of the law, is what is in the child’s best interests.
EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS
Knowing your rights is one thing, but you also need to know what to put in place to uphold them.
With the help of our solicitor, we can lodge binding legal orders that both parties must adhere to. And if these are broken there are consequences.
This protects you and your relationship with your children.
WE NEGOTIATE FOR YOU
We recognise that sometimes things have deteriorated to the point where meaningful conversation with the other parent is no longer a possibility.
That is the exact reason that we are here.
We can negotiate on your behalf, we can liaise with your ex-partner or their solicitor on all matters around parenting, asset division and everything to do with your rights as a father.
MAKING AN IMPACT
The fact is children do so much better when they have their father in their life - academically, developmentally, and socially.
So, even if you no longer live full time with your kids, you can still make a real and positive impact in their lives.
