Child Custody in New South Wales (NSW)

In NSW, child custody matters are governed by the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), which prioritizes the best interests of the child as the paramount consideration. The key aspects of child custody in NSW include:

  1. Parental responsibility: Both parents have equal shared parental responsibility for major long-term decisions affecting their children, unless the court orders otherwise.
  2. Living arrangements: The court can make orders regarding the child’s living arrangements, including where the child will primarily reside and the time they will spend with each parent.
  3. Best interests of the child: The court considers various factors to determine what is in the child’s best interests, such as the child’s views, the relationship with each parent, the ability of each parent to provide for the child’s needs, and any history of family violence or abuse.
  4. Parenting plans: Parents can enter into parenting plans, which are written agreements outlining the arrangements for their children, including decision-making responsibilities and living arrangements.
  5. Court orders: If parents cannot reach an agreement, the court can make orders regarding parental responsibility, living arrangements, and other aspects of child custody.


It’s crucial to seek legal advice and representation from experienced family lawyers to navigate child custody matters effectively and ensure the best possible outcome for the children involved.

Facts About Child Custody

Child related issues fall under the Family Law Act of 1975 and are handled through the Local, Family and Federal Courts. Child custody cases relate to where children live and who is responsible for their financial support. Whether you are married, de facto, same sex or adoptive parents, the same rules for child custody, child support and where children reside apply.

In some cases, grandparents, other relatives or carers who are concerned about the welfare of a child may make an application to the court that relates to parenting orders.
