Parenting arrangements for your child/children is a sensitive subject that demands a thoughtful approach. Our Family Law specialists are skilled at drafting parenting arrangements that prioritise the well-being of your child/children while respecting the rights and expectations of both parents.

Binding Child Support Agreements

Child support can be a contentious issue, but with a Binding Child Support Agreement, you can create an agreement that ensures the stability and support of your child/children. We can help draft an agreement that is fair, reasonable, and in accordance with the Child Support Agency’s guidelines.
