It is also in a child’s best interests that their parents cooperate with each other and communicate openly to resolve any differences they may have regarding the care of their children. If parents cannot agree on parenting arrangements, then they may need to seek the assistance of a family law mediation service or through the Court process.

Are you unsure if your relationship qualifies as a de facto relationship? We can assist in identifying this along with your rights with respect to property, maintenance and children in the event of a defacto relationship breakdown.
A de facto relationship is defined by the Family Law Act as a couple who are not married but live together on a genuine domestic basis. In order to be considered to be in a de facto relationship, you must have lived together for at least two years or had a child together.
A couple can be of the same or opposite sex and does not need to have registered their relationship with the state or territory in which they live.
De facto relationships are treated similarly to marriages under Australian law, which means that couples who separate after living together in a de facto relationship have the same property rights as married couples. This includes the right to seek a property settlement from the Court.
De facto couples also have the same maintenance rights as married couples, which means that they can seek financial support from their former partner if they are unable to support themselves financially.
Finally, de facto couples also have the same parental responsibility rights as married couples with respect to their children. This means that they can both make decisions about their children’s education, healthcare and welfare.
If you are in a de facto relationship and are thinking about separating, then you should contact us to discuss your legal rights and options. We can assist you with negotiating a property settlement and applying for maintenance, as well as advise you on your parental responsibility rights.
