Key changes include a stronger focus on protecting children and considering family violence in property settlements, ensuring that decisions are made in the best interests of families.

You may have heard the terms ‘parental custody’ and ‘visitation rights’ as they are used regularly in the pop culture zeitgeist, however, these are not the terms Australian Courts use in family law matters.

So what are the correct terms to use?

Instead of “parental custody” Courts use the term “parental responsibility” which refers to a person having the responsibility to make major long-term decisions for a child, including decisions relating to welfare, including education, health, and religion. Parental responsibility can be held solely by one parent, or jointly by both parents.

Instead of “visitation rights” the Courts use the term “care arrangements” which refers to the arrangements in place which set out when the children will be in the care of, and spend time with, each parent.

The Australian Courts use this wording as it places the focus on children’s rights to be safe, be properly cared for, and have their needs met. This reflects the spirit of the Family Law Act 1975 which requires Courts to make Orders that promote children’s rights as set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
