Changing Parenting Orders
Parenting orders can be varied with the agreement of both parents by making subsequent Parenting plans.
Sometimes court orders specify that they cannot be altered by a parenting plan. In that case, you would need to file a form 11 Application for consent orders with the court to have the orders changed.
If the other parent does not agree to the changes, you will need to file an application in the Family Court to have the orders changed. The court will only change the orders if it is satisfied there has been a significant change in circumstances since the original orders were made.
Reasons to change
Sometimes the needs or circumstances of yourself put you in a position where you cannot follow the order. This does not stop the parenting order and it remains in force until a new parenting order changes it in some way.
New matters may arise in relation to the health of the children; moving interstate or international; or the orders are simply no longer practical.
Process to change
The first step will be to speak to your partner about the new issues that have arisen that require the parenting orders to change.
When you and your spouse cannot agree as to any changes to the care arrangements it is advisable to participation in Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) with your spouse.
A court will require a certificate from an accredited family dispute resolution practitioner before an application for changing parenting orders can be filed with the court. Pre-action procedures are a requirement except in circumstances where there is family violence, child abuse or urgency
