Understand family life
We begin with the current routines, responsibilities, and practical concerns rather than a schedule considered in isolation.

Child Custody
Keep everyday life in view.
Parenting discussions may involve schedules, communication, daily responsibilities, and a child’s changing needs.
Common concerns
Put the questions in order.
Begin with the practical issues closest to your situation. You do not need every answer before the first conversation.
Routines and responsibilities
School, work, activities, and handovers shape a family's week. A practical account of current routines helps explain where an arrangement is working or becoming difficult.
Communication and decisions
Identify the decisions that need discussion and the ways information is currently shared. Specific examples make concerns easier to understand.
Changing needs
A child's schedule and a parent's circumstances can develop over time. Note the changes you want to discuss and the questions they create.
Our approach
A plan shaped around your priorities.
Careful preparation, clear explanations, and attention to the details that affect everyday life.
Define the discussion
We organize the questions about time, communication, and decision-making so each can be considered with the relevant information.
Plan for daily use
