parenting arrangements
Your Kids Are Lucky to Have a Parent Who's Reading This
The fact that you're here, looking for information about how to best handle parenting arrangements, tells us something important: you're putting your children first. That's exactly where they should be.
What Your Kids Really Need
Forget the legal terms for a minute.
Your kids need:
To know both parents love them
Predictable routines they can count on
To stay at their school with their friends
Their favorite teddy at both houses
Parents who can be in the same room without tension
Permission to love both of you
We help you create arrangements that deliver all of this.
Let's Talk About What Works in Real Life
Week About? School Nights? Weekends? School holidays?
There's no one-size-fits-all. We'll figure out what actually works and how to reach an outcome.
The Everyday Stuff
Who does parent-teacher interviews?
What about sports sign-ups?
Birthday parties at McDonald's?
Sick days?
That expensive school camp?
We'll help you think through all of it.
Common situations we see
My ex is being difficult
We'll try mediation first. Courts are the last resort, not the first option.
I'm worried about their new partner
Natural concern. We'll help you address it appropriately.
We live in different towns now
Newcastle to Maitland? Cessnock to the Lake? Distance makes things harder but not impossible.
The Legal Stuff (Made Simple)
Yes, there are legal frameworks - parenting plans, consent orders, Section 60I certificates. But these are just tools to support what really matters: your kids having the childhood they deserve, even though things have changed.
