08.01.2022 September 6-12th is Child Protection Week Child abuse and neglect is preventable. If we all work together as a community we can create an Australia where all children can grow up safe and well. Children thrive in strong well-connected communities where everyone plays a part in supporting families. As a small business, we believe that everyone can help create great environments for children (i.e. where people are friendly, where children feel safe and valued, and where par...ents can get the support that they need). At DA Family Lawyers in Brisbane, we recognise that every child is entitled to protection from harm. We can offer representation and advice concerning Childrens Court proceedings. Deborah Awyzio regularly appears in the Childrens Court to represent the children who are the subject of child protection orders and is skilled at negotiating with the Department of Child Safety, having a clear understanding of what principles and guidelines they apply in working with families who have children in need of protection. #childprotectionweek

02.01.2022 DA Family Lawyers can help arrange parenting plans to suit the needs of children and parents alike. After a family break-up, most parents want to work out plans for where their children will live. For some, this is resolved without too much hassle but sometimes parents just cant agree. They may think differently about what is best for their children or they can be caught up in their angry or hurt feelings about each other, and cant talk without arguing. We can help. Book an appointment via our website.

01.01.2022 Navigating shared parenting can sometimes feel like youre doing it all by yourself.

You may prefer the certainty of having formal consent court orders as circumstances can change in the future, especially if the relationship becomes strained.
