👨‍👩‍👧 We've separated — now what happens with the kids?

It's one of the first, and hardest, questions separated parents face. The good news: there's no single "right" way it has to look — arrangements can be worked out informally, through a written parenting plan, or formalised as a consent order, depending on what suits your family.

At Kennedy Legal & Mediation Services, we help mums and dads put clear, workable arrangements in place that actually work for their family.

✅ Parenting plans & consent orders
✅ Mediation & family dispute resolution
✅ Support if things need to go to court

🤝 What happens if the other parent just won't agree?

It's one of the most common (and frustrating) situations separated parents face. The good news: not agreeing isn't a dead end — there are several paths forward, from mediation and family dispute resolution through to Court, if it comes to that.

We help parents work through disagreements and find a way forward that actually sticks.

✈️ Planning an overseas trip with the kids? Here's what you need first.

If you share parenting arrangements, taking your child overseas generally requires the other parent's consent — or a court order if they won't agree. Sorting this out early avoids delays or even a cancelled trip.

We help parents get the right consent or orders in place well before you’re due to travel.

✅ Parenting plans & consent orders
✅ Mediation & family dispute resolution
✅ Support if things need to go to court

Before court, there's mediation. 🕊️
Separation is hard enough without adding years of legal battles on top. Mediation offers another way — one where you and your ex-partner work through decisions together, with support, instead of leaving it to a judge.
Why mediation works: ✅ You stay in control of the outcome, not a court ✅ It's faster and far less costly than litigation ✅ It's less adversarial — better for co-parenting long-term ✅ Conversations stay private, not on public record ✅ It often leads to agreements both people can actually live with
Mediation isn't about being "the bigger person" — it's about choosing a path that's better for you, your finances, and especially your kids.
If you're separating, ask Kennedy Legal & Mediation Services about mediation before you assume court is your only option. It might save you more than you think.
