My daughter's final parenting orders were finalised Nov 2018. Where the child was to live with the ex partner .Since that time there has been one a change by mutual agreement with more time allocated to my daughter. My 7 yr old granddaughter wants to live with my daughter full time on a permanent basis which has been agreed by her ex partner & step mother . With having her every second weekend only after the end of this term . They have said that their lawyer said they is no need to get anything new drawn up . They are offering to do a stat Dec for Centrelink purposes , would this suffice as a new parenting plan?. I have read that a new parenting plan has to replace the existing final orders , is this correct ?
My daughter would like something in place so they do not just change their minds .
Appreciate any suggestions.
