What if my spouse and I want to formalise an agreement we have in relation to the care of our children?
Parents can make an Application to the Court for Consent Orders in the Family Court to formalise any parenting arrangements they have in relation to the care of their children.
In order to file an Application for Consent Orders with the Court each party needs to seek independent legal advice in relation to the Consent Orders. The Application can then be lodged with the Court and will generally be dealt with by a Registrar of the Court (in chambers) who will make the Orders by Consent.
