DADS, KNOW THE FACTS ABOUT CHILD CUSTODY.

“She's the mother, so she'll automatically get the kids.”

Not necessarily. And it's time we challenged that misconception.

Under Australian family law:

• Mothers do not automatically receive custody simply because they are mothers.

• Fathers can seek parenting arrangements that allow them to remain actively involved in their children's lives.

• 50/50 care is not automatic for either parent.

• A child's best interests come first, including their safety, wellbeing and individual needs.

Changes to Australian family law in May 2024 also removed the presumption of equal shared parental responsibility.

Being a father does not make you a second-class parent.

If you're separating and you're unsure where you stand, don't rely on threats, assumptions or what someone else tells you the law says.

Get informed. Understand your options. Seek proper legal advice.

Did your former partner control all the money?

If you are now going through separation, you might be asking:
- Where do I stand financially?
- What if I had little access to money?
- Will that be taken into account?

These situations are more common than people realise — and they deserve careful legal advice.

“Can they really get HALF of my super?”

It’s one of the first questions many people ask when a relationship ends.

And the answer is — not automatically.

Your superannuation can form part of a property settlement after separation, but there is no blanket rule that says your former partner simply gets 50% of it.

Every situation is different.

Your super is considered alongside the broader financial picture — including property, assets, liabilities and the individual circumstances of the relationship.

And importantly, just because super is considered doesn’t necessarily mean it will be split.

Before agreeing to anything, make sure you understand what you may actually be entitled to — and what you may be giving up.

When your financial future is on the line, assumptions can be expensive.

Get clear advice before you settle.

“You’ll never see the kids again.”

When a relationship breaks down, words like these can be terrifying.

They can also leave a parent feeling powerless — especially when emotions are running high and you don’t know where you legally stand.

But one parent doesn’t simply get to decide the outcome.

Australian family law focuses on what is in the best interests of the child, including their safety, individual needs and, where it is safe, the benefit of maintaining relationships with their parents and other significant people.

If you’re being told you won’t be allowed to see your children, your time with them is being withheld, or you simply don’t know what your next step should be — get legal advice early.

Don’t let threats, assumptions or something your ex has told you become your understanding of the law.

Know where you stand. Know your options.

5 practical tips for working through parenting arrangements with your former partner

1. Keep the focus on the children — not the relationship breakdown.
When emotions are high, it’s easy for old arguments to take over. Try to bring every discussion back to one question: *What arrangement will give our children the most stability, security and consistency?*

2. Put important arrangements in writing.
School days, changeover times, holidays, medical appointments and special occasions can quickly become confusing. Keep agreements clear and written down so both parents know what has been decided.

3. Don’t use the children as messengers.
Children shouldn’t have to carry messages, negotiate arrangements or feel caught between their parents. Keep adult conversations between the adults wherever possible.

4. Be flexible — but know your boundaries.
Life happens. A little flexibility can make co-parenting much easier, but you should also be clear about what is reasonable, what is important to you and where you may need professional advice.

5. Get advice early, before conflict escalates.
You do not need to wait until things become hostile or end up in court. Early legal advice can help you understand your options, protect your position and work towards practical parenting arrangements before problems grow.

Separation is difficult enough. Parenting arrangements do not have to become another battle.
