Father’s Rights After Separation

Mediations Australia Season 1 Episode 17

Separation is tough — but for fathers, it often comes with myths, mixed advice, and confusion. In this episode of Mediation Matters, Mediations Australia we cut through the noise and breaks down what dads really need to know about their rights after separation. 

👉 Did you know? Fathers have the same legal rights as mothers under the Family Law Act 1975. But the law doesn’t talk about “rights” anymore — it’s all about responsibilities

We’ll explore:

 ✨ Equal shared parental responsibility and what it means in practice
 ✨ Why “custody” is out and “living with” arrangements are in
 ✨ The truth about whether courts favour mothers (spoiler: they don’t)
 ✨ Why mediation works better than court battles for most families
 ✨ The importance of records, child support, and building strong relationships with your kids 

This episode is packed with practical guidance for dads navigating separation, parenting arrangements, and child support — always with one principle in mind: the best interests of the child. 💡❤️ 

👂 Tune in now to get clarity, confidence, and strategies to stay present in your children’s lives.
