Improving Post-Parenting Order Processes

This report suggests ways of dealing with problems encountered by parents after court orders have been made.  The aim of the recommendations is to steer parents towards cooperative ways of dealing with the inevitable changes in arrangements which will be necessary as children grow and circumstances change.

In July 2006, the Government introduced wide ranging reforms aimed at steering separating parents away from litigation and towards cooperative parenting.  This report looks at how problems, which arise after parenting orders have been made, can best be dealt with in the context of these 2006 family law reforms.
