Parenting arrangement discussion worksheet

6 April 2026Telo Family Law

A structured worksheet to help guide discussions about parenting arrangements after separation.

A practical version you can actually use

This tool is designed to help organise information in a more practical way. You do not need every item at once. Use it to identify what you already know, what material you already have, and what may still need attention before advice, negotiation or more formal steps.

Issues to resolve

Important timing note

Timing can materially affect family law matters. If financial issues remain unresolved, married parties generally need to commence financial or property proceedings within 12 months after a divorce takes effect, and de facto parties generally need to commence within two years of breakdown.

This material is general in nature and is not a substitute for tailored legal advice.
