Final Parenting Orders are Orders made by the Court that detail
the parenting arrangements for a child or children. These Orders
can be made either by agreement between parties or, if the parties
are unable to agree to arrangements, by a judge in the course of
legal proceedings.
When the Court makes Orders, it does so on the basis that those
Orders are final and will remain in place until the child turns 18.
However, circumstances often change, and it is not always the case
that Orders made by the Court will continue to be appropriate and
effective.
In these circumstances, a parent may wish to vary the existing
Orders in consideration of these changing circumstances.
If the parents can agree to a variation of the agreement, they
can file an Application for Consent Orders that varies the original
Orders.
