Some parties or parents reach a parenting agreement regarding whom the child is to live with, when the child should spend time and communicate with the other parent or other parties, parental responsibility as well as other issues concerning children informally or through verbal agreement. Parenting arrangements can also be formalised by way of parenting plan or consent orders. A parenting plan is a written agreement between parents that is not enforceable whereas consent orders is an enforceable order of the Court, reached by consent or agreement of the parties.
If parties or parents are unable to reach an agreement, the Court requires that they participate in dispute resolution before filing an application in Court. If the parties are still not able to reach agreement through mediation, then one party may commence proceedings in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. There are some limited exceptions to this rule including where there is urgency or where there is family violence and it is not safe to participate in dispute resolution.
A parent, the child themselves, a grandparent of the child or any other person concerned with the welfare and development of the child can apply for parenting orders. Parenting orders are orders of the Court which are enforceable by the Court in circumstances where one party may be contravening the orders.
