25.01.2022 We all know that our lives and circumstances can change. It is common for our firm to be asked about changing Final Court Orders when there has been a change in our client’s lives or circumstances. Unfortunately, however, it is not always a straight forward exercise.

25.01.2022 ** Family Court of Australia and Federal Circuit Court of Australia launch COVID-19 List to deal with urgent parenting disputes ** The Family Court and the Federal Circuit Court have launched a special COVID-19 list to deal with urgent parenting matters; such as domestic violence, supervised contact and existing orders impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. The list started yesterday, 29 April 2020 and will run for an initial period of three months. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in practice!

24.01.2022 In times of crisis, there is greater propensity, unfortunately, for family violence. We have to make sure we provide access to justice, we have to ensure people are properly cared for in those times.

22.01.2022 A common situation that arises when trying to resolve family law property matters is when one partner makes a considerable dent in the family finances by squandering assets or racking up additional debt, particularly in the post-separation period. So what happens if you find yourself in this situation?

09.01.2022 The Hon William Alstergren has released a statement on behalf of the Family Court of Australia. Parents are naturally deeply concerned about the safety of their children and how the COVID-19 virus will affect their lives. Part of that concern in family law proceedings can extend to a parent’s or carer’s ability to comply with parenting orders and what should be properly expected of them by the Courts in these unprecedented times. The purpose of this statement is to clarify that the Courts remain open to assist parties, and to provide parents with some general guidance. However, it is understood that every family’s circumstances are different.

07.01.2022 The Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court, which both hear family law matters, have urged parents to act in the best interests of their children and respect the "spirit" of co-parenting orders where "strict compliance" is difficult or impossible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However there are some cases where existing access arrangements must be altered.

07.01.2022 Was that money a gift or a loan? And why does it matter?

04.01.2022 We are so excited that we have been named Finalists in the Local Business Awards! Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for us!
