→Family Law Act orders available to unmarried couples
====Children====
There is no minimum length-of-relationship requirement for any claim under the ''Family Law Act'' involving children. A parent is a parent, regardless of the sort of relationship that produced the child.
A parent may apply for all of the orders available under the ''Family Law Act'' that concern children, from child support to guardianship to the various restraining orders that are available to protect a child from harm. Issues about children are discussed in a little more detail further on in this section.
