If your family situation is changing and you’re after affordable, expert local Brisbane family law services, you’re in the right place. At Lander Solicitors Queensland, we have years of professional and first-hand experience in the complexities of family law.
Our team is here to guide you through every step of the process, from parenting orders to parenting plans and Family Reports.
Parenting orders
Parenting orders are legal decisions made by a court about the parenting arrangements for your child. These orders cover who your child will live with, how much time they’ll spend with each parent, and how decisions about their upbringing will be made.
These decisions are daunting for any parent, but there’s an extra layer of complexity when divorce is involved, and it requires experienced Brisbane family law services.
With a wealth of experience in both law and social work, we can assist parents in obtaining orders that are in the best interests of their child now and as they move through different developmental stages. We’ve been involved in thousands of parenting matters and in each one, we were grounded, empathetic, and focused on practical solutions.
Parenting plans
If you and the other parent can keep things amicable, a parenting plan might be a better option than going to court. Parenting plans are written agreements that set out how you’ll share responsibilities for your child, from living arrangements to decision-making. Unlike parenting orders, they’re not legally enforceable, which can make them more flexible.
Lander Solicitors Queensland can help by advising parents what parenting arrangements are most appropriate for them (and explain it in plain English!) and represent clients during the negotiations or during a family dispute resolution conference. Whichever scenario applies to you, our role is to ensure that the parenting plan you create is realistic, balanced, and, most importantly, centred on what’s best for your child.
Our job is to help you through this process with practical advice that’s easy to understand. We’re focused on helping you develop a plan that’s fair, adaptable, and truly reflective of your family’s unique circumstances.
Family reports
When there’s a dispute about what’s best for your child, the court may request a Family Report. It offers an independent, expert view of the issues surrounding the parental dispute to assist the court in making a decision about the child’s best interests.
Independent and expert are two keywords and there exactly what you need to look for in family report writer.

Above all, Jill is solely focused on providing the court with the information needed to make decisions in the best interests of the child/ren.
