Help me stay close to my beloved Son

Introduction

Hello, my name is Peter, my friends call me Pete, and I am reaching out to you with a humble request for assistance. I am facing a challenging situation that could drastically affect my close relationship with my beloved son. I need to hire a solicitor to ensure that my son and I can continue to maintain a close and meaningful relationship despite the imminent potential for a significant geographical separation of over 900 kilometres.

Why I Need Your Help

I am and have been a dedicated and highly involved hands on father to my son. Unfortunately the relationship between his mother and I broke down and we agreed to separate.

Separation between two parents is never easy for the children involved and I have maintained that my son's interests and wellbeing should always be paramount to any decisions made by the parents that involve the child. After participating in Family Dispute Resolution mediation, I have realised that I cannot influence or change the decisions made by the other party.

Therefore, the only path forward is to ensure I am appropriately represented to navigate this matter in alignment with the Family Law Act of Australia.

The Family Law Act of Australia prioritises the best interests of the children in all parenting matters. A 2024 amendment to the Act further emphasises the importance of children having a meaningful relationship with both parents. If there is a significant relocation over 900km away, it would make it extremely difficult for me to be actively involved in my son's life, which is not in his best interest.

I believe that with the right legal support, I can present a strong case in the matter to find a solution that maintains my relationship with my son, while ensuring he has a meaningful relationship with his mother. However, legal proceedings are expensive, and after exhausting my savings on previous legal support to no avail, I am currently unable to cover these costs in the entirety on my own.

The Legal Basis for My Case

Under the Family Law Act 1975, as amended in 2024, Section 60CC outlines the factors to be considered in determining the best interests of the child, including:

By hiring a skilled solicitor who specialises in family law, I can ensure these factors are thoroughly presented in the appropriate forum, emphasising the importance of maintaining our close relationship.
