And many parents can really figure out what a child's best interests are without even knowing what the family law is.

And obviously there are many factors to consider here, like the age of the child, how dependent they are on one parent.

For example, if they're 17 and they're quite independent, or 16, or if they're three and they're very dependent on their parents.

And when it impacts the financial separation, then that

is very important because it looks at which party has the predominant care of the child or the children.

And generally, more often than not, there is a percentage arrangement where there's an adjustment in that party's favour if they've got the predominant care of the children because it's not enabling them to work as much as the other parent who's got less care, for example, of the children.

Yeah.

And I guess it could be equally as important to have a bit of background information in that area of family law, which can assist you in making those agreements about children and

particularly when you're trying to create what's called a parenting agreement or a parenting plan.

And I think it's important that you do some research on the internet and you read up on things and you talk to people.

I guess it's important to even speak to a lawyer or those that would be able to assist you in that area to see what the best options are.

Yeah, I think a good start would be to go on your local legal aid website and that would be a wonderful start.

Look at your local legal helpline, which you can actually call and get some free advice.

And they actually do offer some first

free appointments where you can actually meet with them and have that conversation about what your issues are all of this is found i might add on the amica website where you can actually find where your local legal aid is and give them a call definitely obviously the legal services commission websites have got some wonderful uh information on there and helpful information helpful hints for

families when dealing with separation and how to make arrangements for children.

That can be very helpful.

And obviously there are opportunities to meet with some community organisations out there like Relationships Australia and Anglicare and try and do some mediation if you'd like to, to try and discuss what the options are best for the children.

So there's both online assistance and assistance through community organisations.

Yes.
