Who Can Be Involved In Parenting Arrangements?

"The law recognises that every family is different and that people other than parents (such as grandparents and extended family), may play an important role in the children’s lives.

Where it’s in the children’s best interests, grandparents, extended family and other people who are concerned with the welfare of children, can be included in a parenting plan, consent order or parenting order. Both parents must be part of any agreement or order in relation to the children. See caring for children when you are not the parent for more information.

If you agree

If both parents agree, you don’t need to go to court to formalise your agreement. You can record your agreement as a parenting plan or a consent order."
