Make the transition less difficult.
What are your rights and obligations?
Your children see divorce differently. They don’t always understand the complex emotional struggle. Get the right advice for your circumstances.
Children and divorce can be an emotional issue.
It’s important that you take your time to decide what’s best for your children.
You are divorcing or separating and worried about your kids. That’s only natural. You want the best for them; a safe, happy home life. As a parent, you have the best interests of the children in mind but see the future quite differently than your ex-partner.
Right now you may feel vulnerable, uncertain about your rights and obligations.
Friends and family have given you their opinions. These conflicting views and emotions have done nothing more than confuse you. Where do you stand?

Settling on your children's future
Hopefully, you can mutually agree on your children’s future. Sadly, partners are sometimes bitter and hostile, making the situation almost impossible. Your partner may be of the opinion “how dare s/he decide how and when I see my kids.”
Parenting after separation is about finding a balanced solution. Many factors will be taken into account. These include:
- Who can provide for the child?
- Who are they going to live with?
- Will there be equal parenting responsibility?
- What is the correct amount of child support?
- What's going to happen at Christmas, birthdays and other occassions?
In Queensland, each parenting case is determined on its merits. Relying on the advice of friends and family may be misleading. Speak to a family law expert to get clarity around the issues that are relevant to your circumstances.
Right now you probably have countless questions and arguments running through your head. That’s understandable.
