Parenting

Navigating parenting disputes can be one of the most challenging aspects of a separation and we understand decisions about children are deeply personal. At Sayer Jones, we provide our clients with clear, compassionate and strategic guidance to achieve care arrangements which are tailored to your family’s specific needs and promote stability and safety for children.   

We work closely with clients in the pursuit of practical solutions designed to minimise conflict and cost wherever possible, including negotiation and dispute resolution, family counselling, and the preparation of parenting plans or consent orders. Frequently, agreement with respect to parenting matters can be achieved without ever having to attend court.

Where court proceedings are necessary, we provide robust child-focused advocacy in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.  With extensive experience in complex matters, including family violence, risk concerns, relocation disputes and urgent applications, we strive to secure outcomes which ensure your children’s wellbeing remains at the forefront. 

Whether you are seeking to formalise parenting arrangements, resolve disputes over parental responsibility, or pursue court orders to protect your child’s wellbeing, we will help you navigate each step with confidence and informed decision-making.
