The Legal Position

The court applies best interests under s 60CA and considers factors in s 60CC. The court generally supports children having a meaningful relationship with both parents unless there is risk of harm. Early action and proper documentation significantly affect outcomes.

  • s 60CA Family Law Act 1975 (Cth)
  • s 60CC Family Law Act 1975 (Cth)
