Family Law - Children

Ellison Moschella & Co takes its role as legal representative of a parent very seriously.  Given that the Family Law Act requires parents to exercise parental responsibility and requires the Court to determine what is in each child’s best interests, Ellison Moschella & Co offers representation that reflects those values.

We will advise you how the Court will work out what is best for each child and how the Court may structure its orders to ensure that those interests are protected and promoted.

We will then assist you in attaining those goals by the most reasonably practicable and economical means possible with a view to conserving what could be rapidly depleting financial reserves.

With this in mind, we can assist clients in considering:

• Their children’s long-term care, welfare and development
• Where the children should reside
• The extent and type of contact the non-residence parent should have
• Specific issues such as those relating to health, education, surname and other specific issues.

We assist clients in reaching agreements for the sake of their children by way of negotiation, round-table conference, mediation and, as a last resort, litigation in the courts.
