Parenting Matters - Beneke Legal Pty Ltd

Navigating the complexities of parenting matters in the wake of relationship breakdowns can be emotionally challenging and legally intricate. At Beneke Legal Pty Ltd, we are committed to providing comprehensive, empathetic, and personalised legal assistance for families in Grafton, Coffs Harbour, Maclean, Yamba, and across the Clarence Valley and Coffs Coast region.

Understanding Parenting Matters

Parenting matters encompass issues such as child custody, visitation rights, and the primary care of children after the dissolution of a relationship or marriage. The paramount consideration in all these issues is the best interests of the child. Guided by the Family Law Act and local circumstances in the Clarence Valley and beyond, we aim to ensure your children’s welfare is the heart of every decision.

Our Parenting Matters Services

Our services extend beyond initial advice and negotiations to support you throughout the entire legal process:

Initial Advice: We help guide you through the process of determining the living arrangements for your children, taking into account your circumstances, the legal landscape, and the best interests of your children.
Visitation Rights: We assist in setting up balanced visitation schedules that respect the rights of both parents and uphold the welfare of your children.
Parenting Plans and Consent Orders: We aid in drafting detailed parenting plans that are tailor-made to meet the unique needs of your family, ensuring a minimisation of conflict and consistency for your children. We also assist in the preparation of Court sealed Consent Orders whether this is by way of drafting or providing independent legal advice on the documents.
Child Support: We provide comprehensive advice on financial support for your children, ensuring arrangements are fair and meet all legal obligations.
Mediation Services: We guide you through parenting mediation processes to help you find mutually agreeable solutions outside of the courtroom, always prioritising the welfare of your children.
