Children & divorce

Child support and maintenance

Generally, both parents are responsible for the financial support of their children until they turn 18.

You and your spouse can agree on what an appropriate level of child support would be for your circumstances.  If you can't agree then the Child Support Agency will assess it using a formula. 

Also, both you and your former spouse will be expected to support yourselves after the separation. 

If you can't, the other may have to pay maintenance. 

This usually happens when one spouse cares for young children or can't work due to disability.

For more information about children and divorce, feel free to contact the team at G&B Lawyers.

Getting a divorce?

Getting divorced?

If your situation is straightforward and there are no major conflicts over children or assets then getting a divorce is relatively straightforward. 

The Court will not allow a divorce to go ahead unless proper arrangements have been made for all children under the age of 18 years.

A divorce can only go ahead when a marriage has irretrievably broken down. 

Before this can happen you must show that you have lived separately for at least 12 months. 

When you have lived separately for 12 months you can then make the Court application.

You actually don't need to have lived in separate homes to prove that you have been separated for the required 12 months. 

It is enough for you to live separate lives under the same roof.

Parenting responsibilities

The easiest way to share parenting responsibilities after separation is to agree to a parenting plan or parenting orders. 

Any agreement needs to be in the 'best interests' of the children. 

When the Court looks at this concept they look the need for the children to have a meaningful relationship with both parents and an upbringing that is free from physical and psychological harm. 

If you can't reach a mutual decision, you'll need legal advice.

Appealing a Development Application to the Land & Environment Court

Did you know that if Council refuses a Development Application (DA) you have a right of appeal to the Land & Environment Court.

Appealing your DA also includes DAs which have not been resolved by Council within a reasonable length of time.

The Land & Environment Court is a specialist court designed to hear and determine DA appeals involving all different types of development projects e.g. residential / commercial / industrial developments, childcare centres, retirement villages and waste depots (to name a few).

These DA appeals are not heard by Judges but specialist Commissioners who have practical experience with developments. 

Normally specialist lawyers appear for the parties to resolve the issues and run the hearing. 

In DA appeals you only have to pay your own lawyers fees, if you lose the appeal, who are not up for the winning side's legal fees.  In other courts, (Supreme & District) if you lose you will have to pay the other side's legal bill.  The rule in the Land & Environment Court is that each party pays their own legal costs.

G&B Lawyers has 10 years experience in running DA appeals in the Land & Environment Court.

We have run all sorts of appeals, childcare centres, retirement villages, major commercial developments, residential flat buildings, recycling waste facilities, landfills, hotels / pubs, churches, shop top housing, hobby farm developments and horse training facilities to name a few.
