Overview
About this service
When parents separate, children benefit most when both parents can communicate respectfully and make consistent decisions. Co-parenting support helps parents set aside conflict and focus on their children’s needs.
We help parents develop workable parenting arrangements, clear communication agreements and strategies for managing disagreements.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to be in the same room?
Not necessarily. Where conflict is high, sessions can begin separately.
Is a parenting plan legally binding?
A parenting plan can be registered with the Family Advocate or made an order of court. We recommend legal advice for that process.
Is what I share kept confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is central to our practice. Information is shared only with your consent, or where the law requires disclosure to protect you or someone else from serious harm.
