Child Custody for Fathers

When it comes to child custody agreements, fathers may seek the right for children to live with them and dictate how much time they spend with their mother after separation.

ARE YOU A FATHER AND ANSWER YES TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING?

  • Are you being denied access to or being alienated from your children?
  • Is your ex partner emotionally or physically abusive towards the children and you need to restrict access?
  • Would like to have equally shared parental responsibility if equally shared care is not an option?

HOW THE COURTS DETERMINE CUSTODY FOR FATHERS

The Family Court will consider these factors to consider whether ‘equal time’ is ‘reasonable’ and ‘practical’.

  1. How close is the mother’s home to the father’s home?
  2. What are the working hours of the mother and father?
  3. What is the relationship between the children and each parent?
  4. Are the children old enough to cope with a changing schedule?
