Commonly Asked Questions from Fathers We Work With

Need legal assistance?

Yes, Australian family law doesn't favor mothers over fathers. Courts make decisions based on the child's best interests, considering factors like the child's relationship with each parent, ability to provide care, and the child's own wishes (depending on age).

What are my rights?

Unmarried fathers have the same legal rights and responsibilities as married fathers once paternity is established. You have the right to seek parenting orders, be involved in important decisions, and maintain a meaningful relationship with your child.

How is child support calculated?

Child support is calculated using a formula that considers both parents' income, the number of children, and the percentage of care each parent provides. We can help ensure the calculation is fair and accurate.

Can my ex-partner prevent visits?

No, unless there are serious safety concerns. If your ex-partner is denying you access, we can help you obtain court orders to enforce your parenting rights and establish a regular parenting schedule.

What if falsely accused?

False allegations are serious and can impact custody arrangements. We provide immediate legal defense, gather evidence to disprove false claims, and protect your reputation and parental rights.

How can I establish paternity?

Paternity can be established voluntarily or through court-ordered DNA testing to secure your parental rights.
