23.01.2022 Happy birthday Dara!!!

22.01.2022 Its been a tough couple of weeks.....some peoples lives have been turned upside down. Take care of yourselves.....

21.01.2022 Our solicitors enjoyed watching a zoom cle by Senior Registrar Campbell this evening....lots of great information on interim hearings. (Gino wasnt too impressed). Our Cle reminded me of the days when Judge Halligan presented in the parramatta registry - but no zoom in those days!!... Stay safe everyone.

20.01.2022 Multi-tasking - up early reviewing a file for a hearing today.......and doing some planning for the year ahead. Diaries are so important for separated parents - keeping note of your childrens special events especially when school is back and also journaling at the end of the day is very therapeutic. Co-parenting (absence of risk/fv) involves good communication and good planning. ... Be organized, be respectful and avoid conflict - its all about the little people in our lives. Have an awesome day!!
