Use this checklist to build a solid child custody parenting plan in Australia. Covers key decisions, documentation, and legal steps.
If you are separating from a partner and have children, this checklist is designed for parents beginning to negotiate or formalise a child custody parenting plan in Australia. Use it whether you are attempting informal arrangements, drafting a parenting plan, or preparing for court proceedings under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth).
Work through each item systematically. Some items require documents or professional input — note these early so you can gather what you need. This checklist applies nationally, but if state-based child protection laws are involved, local rules may also apply.
A parenting plan is a written agreement between parents but is not legally enforceable by a court. Consent Orders are approved by the court and carry legal weight — breaching them can have serious consequences.
Under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), the child's best interests are the paramount consideration. Courts weigh factors including the benefit of a meaningful relationship with both parents and the need to protect children from harm.
De facto partners and married couples must generally finalise parenting matters within certain timeframes after separation, though parenting applications can be made at any time while the child is under 18. Seek advice about your specific situation promptly.
Under Australian family law, any person concerned with the care of a child — including grandparents — may apply to the court for a parenting order. The court will again apply the best interests test.

Stanford v Stanford — "just and equitable" property settlement
When a property settlement order is just and equitable
The High Court held that a court must be satisfied it is "just and equitable" to make a property settlement order, and involuntary physical separation alone does not establish this.
