CarlyFamily law questions from Nyngan clients
Do I need to travel to see a family lawyer?
Not necessarily. Most of our Nyngan clients meet with us by phone or video, and we share and review documents securely online. If you’d prefer to meet face to face, we see clients in Orange and Dubbo, by appointment only.
Do grandparents have rights to see their grandchildren?
Grandparents can apply to the Court for parenting orders, and the law recognises that children can benefit from a relationship with their grandparents. The Court’s focus is always the child’s best interests. We can help you explore agreement first.
Where is the nearest Family Court to Nyngan?
The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia’s nearest registry is in Dubbo, and the Court also sits in Orange. You can file most documents online, and the Court holds many hearings by video.
What is a parenting plan, and is it legally binding?
A parenting plan is a written, signed and dated agreement between parents about the care of their children. It isn’t legally enforceable, but the Court may take it into account. If you want an enforceable arrangement, you can turn it into consent orders.
Is there a 50/50 custody rule in Australia?
No. The law doesn’t start from a 50/50 rule. The Court’s focus is what is in the child’s best interests, including their safety and their relationship with each parent. Many families agree on shared arrangements that work for them, and we can help you reach one.
How much does a family lawyer cost?
It depends on the complexity of your matter and how it is resolved. We’ll be upfront and transparent about costs from the start, and we’ll look for practical ways to keep them down, such as resolving matters by agreement rather than in court.
