25.01.2022 With the impact of Covid-19 on the Court system, now more than ever is a time to explore alternative dispute resolution options in an attempt to resolve family law matters. We are continuing to schedule mediations and have the benefit of technology such as video conferencing facilities in our meeting rooms to maintain social distancing practices. Following a recent and successful mediation, our mediator and Retired Judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia thanked Mil...ls Oakley for the provision of first class conference facilities with protective cleansing measures and refreshments. #familylaw #mediate #collaborate #staysafeandwell

24.01.2022 Special Counsel, Carly Mirza-Price and Lawyer, Tilly Herbert-Smith were very lucky to hear from Dr Justin Coulson today at the first RSM Australia EMPower event of 2020. The takeaway of the presentation is one we can apply in our relationships with our children, spouse, former spouse, friend, parent or colleague: find the good in me to speak to the best in you. What a thought provoking and inspiring session. Thank you Justin and RSM! ... #familylaw #mindfulness #rsmaustralia #drjustincoulson

23.01.2022 Following the release of the Federal Budget last week, the family law sector is set to receive some much needed funding, summarised helpfully by the Family Court’s media release: - $35.7m (over the forward estimates) in additional judges, registrars and support staff for the Federal Circuit Court of Australia (FCC) to assist with the timely resolution of migration and family law cases. It provides funding for some existing FCC judges, family law registrars and support staff,... together with funding for 4 additional FCC judges; 2 additional migration registrars and 5 additional family law registrars; and their support staff. - $2.5m to allow the Courts to continue to hear urgent matters through the specialist national COVID-19 Lists. This measure provides funding to 30 June 2022 for 4 registrars and 2 registrar support staff. - $7.7m for upgrades to improve safety and security at the Launceston and Rockhampton FCC registries. - $4.8m in 2020-21 for the Family Violence and Cross-examination of Parties Scheme. - $1.8m over 4 years from 2020-21 to administer Federal Family Violence Orders (FFVOs) under the National Domestic Violence Order Scheme. http://www.familycourt.gov.au//connect/fcoaweb/about/news/ #familylaw #familycourtfunding #FederalBudget

22.01.2022 Amongst the constant discussion of the progress of a Covid-19 vaccination, the decision about vaccinating your child (whatever side of the fence you are on) is a decision about their long term care, welfare and development. If parents share parental responsibility for their child, this type of decision must be made jointly. #familylaw #parentalresponsibility #COVID19 https://www.millsoakley.com.au/expertise/family-law/

22.01.2022 Wishing all an enjoyable festive season and may 2020 be a happy and healthy year We thank everyone for their support in 2019 Our team will be operational throughout the break (excluding public holidays) to continue to service the needs of our clients during this period.

22.01.2022 Finishing the year off on a high note. Partner Susan Warda, Special Counsel Carly Mirza-Price and the Team are grateful for the inclusion in the 2020 Doyles Guide listings

21.01.2022 Today marks 6 years for the Mills Oakley Sydney Family Law Team, how time flies. Thank you to all of our clients, contacts and referrers for helping to make it a successful 6 years. We are looking forward to starting the new decade and assisting our clients navigate the family law pathway.

21.01.2022 The Family Court has expanded the National COVID-19 list, which is a Court initiative to prioritise and resolve family law disputes arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The criteria now includes financial issues, issues arising from a parent being a front line health worker and disputes regarding the vaccination of children. For a matter to be assessed as suitable it must have a sufficient connection to COVID-19 and be considered an urgent or priority matter. After assessing a matter, the Court aims to list urgent matters within 3 business days and priority matters within 7 business days.

21.01.2022 It is not unexpected that during the COVID-19 crisis there has been an increase in domestic violence as our community has been directed to stay at home and follow social distancing directives, meaning that victims and perpetrators have been isolating together within the home. This has resulted from victims being unable to seek help or to report incidents of domestic violence. The concern resulting from the alarming increase has seen the NSW and federal governments commit $21 ...million to domestic violence services, including frontline specialist services, womens refuges, behavioural programs and duress alarm devices. Additionally, the six-month pop-up safety house in the Manly area for temporary and emergency accommodation for women and children will also receive funding from the package. Please see the below details of family and domestic violence support services, as well as a link to The Age article on recent findings: 1800 Respect National 24 Hour Helpline on 1800 737 732 NSW Domestic Violence 24 Hour Line on 1800 656 463 NSW Womens Refuge Referral & Resource Centre on 9698 9777 Staying Home Leaving Violence at https://www.facs.nsw.gov.au//programs/staying-home-leaving Mens Referral Service on 1300 766 491 https://www.theage.com.au//new-reports-of-family-violence- #domesticviolencehelp #familylaw

19.01.2022 25 October 2020 marked the 40th Anniversary of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. The Convention is an international treaty under which arrangements are made for the return of children who have been wrongfully removed from or retained outside their country of habitual residence. An Application under the Convention for the return of a child can only be made to or from a country that has signed the Convention, and which Australia has r...ecognised. The Australian Government Attorney-General's Department is the Central Authority for Australia. Our team provides specialist advice that can assist in any questions you have regarding keeping your children safe, or having your children returned to your care. #familylaw #internationalfamilylaw #HagueConvention https://www.millsoakley.com.au/expertise/family-law/ https://www.abc.net.au//hague-convention-traps-d/12807342

19.01.2022 What a fantastic morning we had at the 2021 NSW Young Lawyers Golden Gavel and well done to Nick for the creative and entertaining skit. Nick had less than 24 hours to prepare for his topic, How to do social distancing like a pro (just be a lawyer) and all of his efforts certainly paid off. Congratulations once again Nick!

18.01.2022 As we move into the new ‘normal’, the Family Court and the Federal Circuit Court have released an update as to the: - recommencement of face to face listings in some circumstances; - social distancing measures in place at Court; and - the continuation of electronic listings for divorce hearings, procedural listings and where possible for other listings. ...

18.01.2022 Grandparents are entitled to commence and join parenting proceedings concerning their grandchildren, and may seek Orders for parental responsibility and to have the child live or spend time with them. This often occurs in cases involving parents who are unable to care for a child or refuse to allow the child to spend time with the grandparents. Grandparents can also have an entitlement to child support. A grandparent who is responsible for at least 35% of the care of a child ...may apply for a child support assessment, which must come from both parents. A link to the Mills Oakley Family Law Team Plain English Guide to Parenting Issues is below, which answers the most common questions about parenting issues: https://www.millsoakley.com.au//Family-Law-English-Guide-t

17.01.2022 On Friday, Mills Oakley hosted an Arbitration at our office, with the Arbitrator overseeing the matter remotely. An Arbitration involves the parties presenting their case in a manner very similar to a Court hearing to an Arbitrator, who makes an award - a legally binding decision. This allowed the matter to be contested and heard in circumstances where the parties would otherwise be awaiting the allocation of trial dates in late 2021, at the earliest. Mills Oakley’s facilitie...s allowed the Arbitration to be conducted efficiently through Microsoft Teams, with a separate conference room reserved for each of the parties and a digital video and audio recording available at its conclusion. Our team is committed to embracing all forms of dispute resolution to bring our client’s matters to a conclusion sooner rather than later. Our spacious and several conference rooms enables us to offer this facility without the parties having to fund independent conferencing rooms. #familylaw #Arbitration #alternatedisputeresolution https://www.millsoakley.com.au/expertise/family-law/

17.01.2022 Our team had its first experience with a final hearing via Microsoft Teams last week and we are pleased to report all proceeded well. Counsel briefed for our client was able to sit in our office, in one of our large meeting rooms, sitting over 1.5 metres away from the instructing solicitor in our team whilst the hearing progressed via the video conference. Our client was fortunate that despite this climate, the long awaited trial dates were not lost and our large meeting ro...om spaces allowed us to facilitate the hearing going ahead safely for all involved. We expect there will be more take up by the Court on the use of trial by Microsoft Teams, with another trial today confirmed to proceed in this format in the coming months. #innovation #familylaw #makingitwork #covid19

15.01.2022 This week our Mills Oakley Family Law team celebrated our Special Counsel, Michael Paul, on his 60 years of practicing law! What an incredible achievement! Congratulations Michael! #FamilyLaw #MillsOakley #Sydney

14.01.2022 Most grateful for our clients and contacts showing their appreciation this festive season

14.01.2022 In many cases, Family Law matters are finalised without the need to apply to Court. One of the processes that parties may opt to use is ‘Collaborative Law’, in which they and their lawyers enter into a formal agreement to make a genuine effort negotiate a resolution. If no agreement is reached through the Collaborative process, then the lawyers who acted in the negotiations are unable to continue to act for the parties if litigation is contemplated. The team at Mills Oakley have Collaboratively trained lawyers who can assist you in this space. For more information about the Collaborative process and the benefits, here is a link to the ‘Collaborative Conversation’ Podcast our Sydney Practice Leader, Susan Warda, recently featured in: https://www.owltail.com/p/81Xum-Collaborative-Conversations

12.01.2022 In addition to facilitating the resolution of your family law matter, our team can also assist with estate planning and asset protection, such as updating your Will, Powers of Attorney and Appointments of Enduring Guardian. See helpful article from the Sydney Morning Herald regarding testamentary trusts, and otherwise reach out to our Team for further information on how we can assist to plan for your future. https://www.google.com.au//it-s-worth-knowing-the-inner-wo

11.01.2022 The pandemic easing and talk of borders reopening will come as a huge relief to many families implementing their parenting arrangements interstate. Whilst we have the specialist Covid-19 list that deals with disputes quickly and State Governments allowing permits for border crossing in some circumstances, co-parenting across borders has been nothing short of challenging during the public health crisis. https://www.millsoakley.com.au/expertise/family-law/... #covid19 #familylaw #borderclosures (Photo credit ABC)

11.01.2022 The Family Court and the Federal Circuit Court have introduced the National Arbitration List, to facilitate the promotion of arbitration for family law property matters. Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution process where parties present their case to an Arbitrator, as they would to a Judge, and the Arbitrator makes a binding decision (award). Similar to a trial in Court, the hearing is recorded and the parties are cross-examined. What are the advantages of arbitra...tion? Parties can volunteer to participate in an arbitration at a date and location suitable to them meaning they can overcome Court delays and reduce their legal costs. Any matter that proceeds to arbitration will be placed into the new National Arbitration List, which will only deal with arbitrated matters.

10.01.2022 Dr McIntosh has published an article on infant needs in post-separation parenting, which provides a helpful summary of the recent studies on this topic. Dr McIntosh and her co-author Dr Booth identify three threats to an infant’s care following separation conflict or violence, lowered quality in parenting and unsettled schedules. They conclude that parents should be cautious with young children and carefully consider whether a child is developmentally ready for a parenting ...arrangement.

04.01.2022 Family lawyers are experiencing an unprecedented increase in demand for their services in recent weeks. The spike is believed to be an immediate result of the easing of pandemic restrictions, where families and couples are emerging from lockdown and seeking advice about separation and parenting arrangements. Unfortunately, this has fuelled concerns that the pandemic could place further burden and delay on the Family Court and the Federal Circuit Court. With the surge in urge...nt applications to the family courts on top of already lengthy delays, alternative dispute resolution processes are more important than ever. Our team can provide you with advice on your alternatives to Court, such as mediation and collaborative family law, and can guide you through your separation and parenting queries.

03.01.2022 Extract from the ABC on how the expanded Government funding announced yesterday can assist those impacted by domestic violence: Counselling services for families caught up in, or at risk of, family violence such as 1800 Respect and Mensline Australia will share $150 million. In announcing the extra cash, the Government said search engines such as Google were "seeing the highest magnitude of searches for domestic violence help that they have seen in the past five years ...with an increase of 75 per cent and some services are already reporting an increase in demand". A new national campaign to promote services available to Australians affected by family violence during the COVID-19 outbreak will also be funded. #familylaw #familyviolencefunding #covid19 https://mobile.abc.net.au//coronavirus-medicare-/12100028

03.01.2022 The NSW Government at midnight on Monday enacted the public health order announced by PM Scott Morrison on Sunday. Essentially, you are not to leave home unless it is specifically to go to work, school, exercise, obtain medical treatment and a list of other limited reasons. Importantly this list includes parents, children and siblings not of the same household so as to provide some clarity in the uncertainty: that changeovers in accordance with informal arrangements or Cour...t Orders can be maintained. #coparenting #familylaw #stage3restrictions
