Welcome to Kids' Corner!

This is a place just for kids. It has lots of information about what happens when families ask the Court to help make decisions about kids.

By the way, the Court’s full name is ‘The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia’, but here in Kids’ Corner we just call it the Family Court.

When families change

Sometimes families change. This can be because parents decide not to live together anymore or because of other things that are happening in the family.
