The basics
Understanding Child Custody in Queensland
Need help with a family law issue? .
In Queensland, the law focuses on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as protection from harm and the benefit of having both parents involved in their lives. Parenting arrangements can be agreed upon mutually, formalised through parenting plans or consent orders, or determined by the court if an agreement cannot be reached.
