​KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Parenting Agreement


A Parenting Agreement is a written agreement between parents setting out arrangements for their children after separation or divorce.


The agreement may include matters such as residence, contact arrangements, education, financial support, and healthcare.


The concept was proposed by the Family Justice Review in 2012 to encourage cooperative parenting arrangements.


Although not necessarily legally binding, the agreement may carry evidential weight in later court disputes.


Parenting agreements are intended to reduce conflict and promote the welfare and stability of children following family breakdown.
