14.01.2022 POLICE ENFORCEMENT OF PARENTING ORDERS At first instance State Police Powers are limited to undertaking a welfare check on families to ensure that in particular children are being cared for in a safe environment. If one parent is not complying with parenting orders during the COVID-19 restrictions for no other reason than the requirement to self-isolate then parenting orders can and will be enforced.... A Recovery Order Application if filed with the court, if granted an urgent hearing will be heard and determined within seven days. This can include the enforcement of spend time arrangements for the non-primary care parent, for example, to enforce school holiday time or each alternate weekend time. Once a Recovery Order is issued by the court then the Australian Federal Police (AFP) can come in and remove children from a parent. AFP action is not normally required, as by the time a court order is issued the other parent will normally comply. If you are being denied court order time pursuant to court order, Mr William Alstergren, Chief Justice of the Family Court and the Federal Circuit Court of Australia has proclaimed that there will be consequences and the courts will take decisive immediate action to redress non-compliance. https://www.abc.net.au//amid-covid-19-parents-mus/12124306 If you need advice of compliance with parenting orders get in touch with me here on Facebook by message or contact me direct on 0410 639 921.

12.01.2022 CORONAVIRUS COURTS The courts are racing to put in place technology for hearings to be done remotely. In terms of criminal law what this means is that persons who are not present in a court room will not be at risk of going to jail.... Bail applications will be able to be run on account of delays being encountered and persons are more likely to get bail granted. We further believe that there will be significant delays in police issuing charges as their resources are diverted and given the fact that police technology also needs to catch up to file documentation with courts remotely. In both the criminal and civil courts, we are rapidly moving to a position where appearances will be managed through the electronic and digital environment see: https://www.itnews.com.au//victoria-races-to-scale-up-virt We continue to remain open during this period and if you have any inquiries in regard to criminal law or even other areas of law we are available to help you. There will be numerous challenges involving legal issues over this time and that is why we are here to help. I can be contacted here on Facebook message or by mobile direct 0410 639 921. We do not charge a fee for your initial inquiry, so get in touch if you have any questions.

11.01.2022 SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE FAMILY LAW The Family Court or Federal Circuit Court deal with two types of spousal maintenance applications: - 1. Spouse maintenance is financial support paid by a party to a marriage to their former husband or wife in circumstances where they are unable to adequately support themselves.... 2. De facto partner maintenance is financial support paid by a party to a de facto relationship that has broken down to their former de facto partner in circumstances where they are unable to adequately support themselves. What does a court consider when making a decision? The court considers the needs of an applicant and the respondent's capacity to pay. The court considers the following about both of you: - - your age and health - your income, property, and financial resources - your ability to work - what is a suitable standard of living, and if the marriage has affected your ability to earn an income. The court also takes into account with whom the children (under 18 years of age or adult children who are disabled) live. See section 75(2) (married) and section 90SF (de facto) for the specific sections of the Family Law Act. If you have any question message us here on Facebook or contact our Principal, Glenn Thexton direct on 0410 639 921.

08.01.2022 DIVORCE REQUESTS SOAR AFTER LOCKDOWN Chinese society is going through a subsequent divorce crisis after the coronavirus lockdown. A quote from the articles says: -... Although the flood of reservations may be a result of the long shutdown of government services, Zhou Xiaopeng, an expert on marital relationships, pointed to another cause. In a post on her official social media account, Zhou said married couples became stressed out after being forced to work from home and confined to their residences together for a long period. Under these conditions, she said, couples tend to fight more and lose feelings of attachment to each other. A lesson here to learn some tolerance during the pandemic that we now are going through in Australia.

06.01.2022 CORONAVIRUS AND BAIL APPLICATIONS. Coronavirus is impacting on the prospects for bail. Accused persons who have been refused bail previously are now being granted bail due to the issue of delay. Here is a case extract where Coronavirus has directly impacted on bail:... Re Broes [2020] VSC 128 (19 March 2020): [46]Given the extraordinary circumstances in which we now find ourselves, I have come to the conclusion that an already significant delay will be likely exacerbated by the consequences of COVID-19, and I am therefore satisfied that exceptional circumstances have been established. [39] there can be no question that once the virus is discovered in any of the Victorian prisons, there will have to be a significant lockdown for a number of reasons. The transmission between prisoners will be significant and likely to occur at a much greater rate than the transmission that is occurring in the community at present. That will result in a large number of prisoners becoming quite seriously ill, depending on their age and underlying conditions. I appreciate these are matters of speculation to a degree, but the situation is sufficiently urgent to required them to be taken into account. Further bearing in mind that the entire situation may have changed again within one or two weeks. I can be contacted here on Facebook message or by mobile direct 0410 639 921. We do not charge a fee for your initial inquiry so get in touch if you have any questions.
