If you and your ex-partner are unable to come to an agreement you have the options of mediation or applying to the Court.
The law currently only recognises the birth mother (a woman who gives birth to a child) and birth father (a father listed on a child’s birth certificate) as the legal parents of a child.
The partners of a birth parent can apply to the Family Court for a parenting order as “other people significant to the care, welfare and development” of the child.
We can assist you with your application to the Court, as the birth parent or co-parent.

Nobody has the right to threaten or another person. These laws protect everyone who lives in Australia. You can apply to the Courts for a Protection Order.
