Child Custody Arrangements
Maleys Barristers & Solicitors has expert family lawyers who can help you and your ex-partner reach an agreement about child parenting arrangements.
Arrangements can include matters such as how much time a child should spend with a parent, who the child should live with, who pays for interstate travel if one parent lives outside the Northern Territory and what happens at Christmas and during school holidays.
Reaching an Agreement
The law says that separated parents must try to reach an agreement about parenting arrangements for their child or children before going to court. There are exceptions to this law, such a domestic violence and urgency.
Our lawyers are trained in mediation & have years of experience in court
