17.01.2022 Sadly, victims of abuse often report that their abuser threatens their pets as a form of manipulation, intimidation, and coercion. The government is responding to this by reforming current Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders to include laws regarding animal cruelty. The new law means that anyone who threatens or abuses an animal in the context of a domestic relationship can receive charges for animal cruelty as well as domestic violence. The bill will be passed in NSW parlia...ment this week in hopes it will help victims flee violent homes more easily and protect their pets. As well as this, the NSW Government has invested $500,000 into a new program to house animals of domestic violence victims. The Funds from the PAWS program will go towards making refuges animal-friendly and helping animal shelters house pets while their owners find safe accommodation. You can apply for the paws program via this link: https://www.dcj.nsw.gov.au/dfv-paws If you need help leaving a situation of domestic violence, please contact our head office on 02 4578 5611 or call 1300 4 FAMILY.

11.01.2022 This means that property, child maintenance and your superannuation will be treated the same as if you were married. So, what makes a relationship de-facto anyway? Generally, a relationship becomes de-facto when a couple has lived together for 2 years, but some things can make your relationship de-facto even before this 2-year mark, like having children.... A person can be in a de-facto relationship even if they are legally married to someone else. Why do you need to know about this? Because sometimes people dont realise that their relationship has become de-facto and that there are laws determining what will happen if your relationship ends, or if your partner dies. Have you got questions about your relationship (apart from why does he put the clothes next to the washing basket?). Give us a call on 1300 4 FAMILY (326459), were always happy to help!

01.01.2022 You know that nagging little voice that keeps telling you to create your will? You keep telling yourself you will, you know that you will, just not today. And then before you know it, its been a few years. Ooops. But still, you havent needed it yet. You know youre taking a little risk, but youll get it sorted out soon (just like you said you would a few years ago). That little nagging voice keeps reminding you that you own a house now, and you know this is when people rea...lly should get their will sorted out. You never used to care about having a will, but you know that now you own something you want to hand down to the person of your choice, not the choice of the rigid legal system. You want to make sure your ex cant contest your wishes and take possession of your assets. You wonder what would happen to your house if the mortgage wasnt fully repaid at the time of your death. The longer you leave it, the more space it takes up in your mind, but its really not a big deal to get it sorted out. Our team of family law specialists make the process as quick, easy and pain-free as possible so that you can get on with life without worrying about what will happen after it. So, stop procrastinating and make that call today to 1300 4 FAMILY (326459) and ask us those questions youve had in the back of your mind for too long. Youll laugh at how silly it was to put it off!
