After separation, the father's rights are equal in Australia, which means that a father can spend at least 50% of his time with his child. Both the mother and the father can conclude a parental agreement or obtain consent regarding parental responsibility.Mother's rights technically do not exist in Australian family law. There are also no fathers' rights. This is because, rather than focusing on the parents' rights, the family court makes children's rights a top priority in parental matters.
