21.01.2022 Pretty disgusted today to read that Townsville hasn't had a single Federal Circuit Court judge sitting there since 8 February 2019, when Judge Middleton was redeployed to assist in Brisbane and Cairns. How is that right? I know Brisbane is certainly busy and extra judges are always welcome, but it shouldn't be at the expense of our Northern neighbour, depriving them of the fundamental right to have their matters heard and not unduly delayed. For family law matters, this extr...a delay costs real money and causes real harm to parties and their children. It's just not OK. The Law Council of Australia has rightly approached the Attorney-General and the Chief Judge of the FCC but so far to no apparent avail. Not good enough Mr Porter.

16.01.2022 Hi folks, I'm feeling honoured this week to have been invited to become a member of the Queensland Law Society's new Innovation Committee! I am so looking forward to engaging with other legal innovators as we navigate through the exciting new possibilities for law and lawyers in the age of 'digital disruption'. #innovation #legaltech

13.01.2022 Just a quick heads up folks. It's just a few days until the deadline to opt-out of the My Health Record on 31 January 2019. There have been some concerns about the system in relation to children of separated or divorced parents where there is a domestic and family violence situation. Pop over for a quick read of my blog at https://fltk.com.au/my-health-record-concerns/ Thanks

12.01.2022 I have just finished reading the 76 page Report from the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs (the Committee) enquiry into the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia Bills (the FCFC Bills). Released two months earlier than instructed to by the Senate, the Report is, as expected, in support of the Bills, albeit with one substantial and one minor amendment. In summary, the recommendations are: 1. More money for the Courts;...Continue reading

06.01.2022 Hi folks, I've been reading some excellent new books about family law of late. The first one I have to tell you about is 'Moving On - What you need to know about Separation and Divorce', beautifully written by Julie Hodge, The Family Lawyer. Julie brings her years of experience as a family lawyer and a deep compassion for her clients to the content in this book. It's clear and easy to read and explains more than just the legal side of relationship breakdown, it goes into asp...ects of family well-being and looking to a future after divorce. I would recommend it to anyone contemplating or currently going through this difficult process to get a solid overview and a ray of hope. It's available on Booktopia: https://www.booktopia.com.au/moving-/prod9780648389804.html Moving on from that (see what I did there?!), I'm currently reading Inside Family Law - Conversations from the Coalface by Zoe Durand. A completely different book but another that is well worth the read. Zoe has clearly travelled far and wide to interview a broad cross-section of judges, solicitors, barristers, court experts and most importantly, (for me at least) people who have been through a family law matter. I found the chapter of real stories from real people's first hand experiences of separation and divorce to be compelling and provided me with further insight about misconceptions, procedural delays and other problems people face that can make the whole process that much more traumatic than it might have been. A great book offering a broad and fresh perspective on family law in Australia. It's also available on Booktopia: https://www.booktopia.com.au/inside-/prod9780648339847.html #separation, #divorce, #familylaw, #goodreads
