We strongly recommend the use of parenting orders to document any agreement reached in respect of the children.   You can also enter a Parenting Plan. A Parenting Plan does not create a legal obligation between the parents.  A Parenting Plan can be considered by the Court in any later Court proceedings.  

At Evans Brandon Family Lawyers at the Gold Coast, we recommend the use of Consent Orders as the Orders are binding upon both parties and in the worst case scenario the Court can be asked to enforce the Order.
