Before you start. This tool helps you set out proposed arrangements under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). It is general information, not legal advice. A parenting plan is a written agreement signed and dated by both parents and made free from any threat, duress or coercion. It is not enforceable by a court. To make arrangements legally enforceable you can apply for consent orders through the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Arrangements should reflect the best interests of the child.
