Children’s Matters

Children’s Matters & Parenting Arrangements in Murray Bridge

When it comes to children, nothing is more important than ensuring their wellbeing and stability — especially during times of separation or family change. At Devine Murdoch Lawyers, we provide practical, compassionate legal advice to help parents and carers work through parenting arrangements in a way that prioritises the best interests of the child.

We understand that every family dynamic is different. Whether you’re navigating shared parenting, concerns around safety, or the logistics of school holidays and handovers, we’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and your child.

    What We Can Help With

    We assist clients across Murray Bridge and South Australia with a range of children’s matters, including:

    • Parenting Arrangements (formerly custody and access)
      Tailored plans that cover where your child lives, who they spend time with, and how decisions are made.
    • Consent Orders
      Making your parenting agreement legally binding through the Family Court, helping reduce future disputes.
    • Parenting Plans
      Informal written agreements that can serve as a helpful starting point for communication and structure.
    • Relocation and Travel Disputes
      Advice around proposed moves, interstate or international travel, and ensuring compliance with court orders.
    • Concerns About Safety or Family Violence
      We handle sensitive matters with care, including supervised contact or intervention where needed.

    Local Support, Real Solutions

    We’re a local firm, not a high-turnover city practice — which means you’ll deal directly with a lawyer who genuinely listens and provides honest, thoughtful guidance. We aim to minimise conflict and promote long-term, workable solutions wherever possible, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court.

    If you’re going through a separation or need help setting up or changing parenting arrangements, we’re here to support you through every step.
