17.01.2022 Parenting Orders- Best Interest Of The Child When a court makes a parenting order, the law requires it to regard the best interests of the child as the most important consideration. Parents are encouraged to use this principle when making parenting plans. The Family Law Act focuses on the rights of children and the responsibilities that each parent has towards their children, rather than on parental rights. The Act aims to ensure that children can enjoy a meaningful relation...ship with each of their parents, and are protected from harm. The Family Law Act makes clear that: 1. both parents are responsible for the care and welfare of their children until the children reach 18, and 2. there is a presumption that arrangements which involve shared responsibilities and cooperation between the parents are in the best interests of the child. For further information on parenting orders, contact Wickham Lawyers at 07 3831 9025.

17.01.2022 Financial responsibility for children Both parents also have a duty to support the child financially after separation, regardless of who the child lives with. Parents can manage this between themselves or apply for a child support assessment. The Department of Human Services administers the child support program, assisting parents to provide support for their children.... Information about the child support program is available at the Department of Human Services website or contact Wickham Lawyers at 07 3831 9025

14.01.2022 Property Settlement - Family Law Did you know that when determining a fair property settlement, the Family Court applies a four step process? The first step involves determining the value of the assets and liabilities, secondly an assessment of both financial and non-financial contributions is done, thirdly the future needs of the parties is considered and then the Court considers what a fair (just and equitable) division of the property should be.... Although the same formula is applied in each case, the outcomes vary from case to case. Not each separating couple will have a 50/50 split and it is always worthwhile obtaining legal advice prior to resolving your property settlement. For property settlement matters, contact Wickham Lawyers at 07 3831 9025.

13.01.2022 Domestic Violence & Children Domestic violence involves more than hitting. The Family Law Act has a much broader definition of family violence, including what is called coercive and controlling behaviour. The impact of this conduct on parents who survive it and their children cannot be underestimated. A punch might lead to the arrest of the aggressor. Name-calling, control over money and spending, checking phones, messages, social media, even their partners movements rar...ely lead to arrest. You think you are holding it together for the children? Anxiety, substance abuse, hyper-vigilance, disorganisation, other mental health disorders all impact on your capacity to parent. If your parenting is impacted, then so are your children. Often this conduct can lead to multiple changes of residence, with associated frequent changes to schooling, or even to home schooling and a loss of connection with family and friends. How parents parent is a choice. Some parents choose to parent in a way that is emotionally neglectful and abusive of their children. Thats right, perpetrators make a choice to be violent. The kids are okay? Sure, they may seem resilient. Conduct as described above can result in children experiencing anxiety and other behavioural issues, developmental delays, bed-wetting and difficulty sleeping. Long term, depression, risky behaviours, eating disorders and issues in their own personal relationships. If you are surviving family violence, or have the insight to recognise you are perpetrating it, then the choice is yours. You can fix this. Wickham Lawyers were here when you need us.

03.01.2022 Domestic Violence Order (DVO) A domestic violence order (DVO) is an official document issued by the court to stop threats or acts of domestic violence. A DVO sets out rules that the respondent (the person who has committed domestic violence against you) must obey. It is designed to keep the aggrieved (the person who has had violence against them) safe by making it illegal for the respondent to behave in specific ways.... A DVO is a civil court order so it will not appear on the respondents criminal history. However, it is a criminal offence to disobey an order, and this will appear on the respondent criminal history. Wickham Lawyers can assist you if you are aggrieved or respondent in any domestic violence matter. Contact us at 07 3831 9025
