Parenting Matters

Whiteley Ironside & Shillington provides expert legal services in Family Law.

We understand that matters involving the custody of children and parenting orders are emotionally challenging and deeply personal. We are dedicated, compassionate, and solution-focussed and will support you through this difficult journey.

We recognise that the wellbeing and best interests of your children are of paramount importance to you. We are committed to helping you navigate the complexities of child custody and parenting arrangements with sensitivity, empathy, and a focus on finding the best solutions for your family.

We will take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your unique family dynamics, and work collaboratively with you to develop a tailored strategy that prioritises the welfare of your children.

We believe that the best approach is through cooperation and communication and we always strive to reach an amicable agreement with the other parent whenever possible. However, we understand that not all parenting matters can be resolved through negotiation, and in such instances, we are prepared to argue your case in the Federal Circuit and Family Court.

We will keep you informed, provide clear explanations of the options available to you, and empower you to make informed decisions. Our goal is to minimise conflict and guide you towards a positive resolution that establishes a stable and nurturing environment for your children's growth and wellbeing.

If you are facing a dispute over child custody, contact us so that we can support you during this time and help ensure that any outcome is in the best interests of your children.
