24.01.2022 "Rape survivors who are silenced under Victoria’s new victim gag-laws are being ordered by the courts to seek out their offender’s views and input, if they hope to be exempted from the new gag restrictions."

24.01.2022 It is still possible to get a divorce even if you are still living in the same house after the separation as long as you lead separate lives. The court will consider a number of factors when deciding whether you separated ‘under the one roof’, such as whether you share meals and domestic duties, if you share money and bank accounts, if you are still intimate with each other and whether or not your friends and family would consider you as separated.

23.01.2022 "Prior to the passing of the amendments, the relevant tax law provided that income of a trust estate is excepted income to the extent that it resulted from a Will, codicil, (or a Court order varying a Will or codicil) or an intestacy, in relation to the estate of a deceased person. The new law imposes additional tests in relation to the property that can generate concessionally taxed or excepted income. The tests include that the property that generates the income is transferred from the estate of the deceased person concerned, as a result of the Will. In addition, the excepted income can be generated from property that represents accumulations of income of capital from the property transferred from the estate."

23.01.2022 You can try family dispute resolution throughout any stage of your separation, even if you have already started court proceedings. The court can also order parties to participate in family dispute resolution during court proceedings.

22.01.2022 One of the biggest risks with making an Enduring Power of Attorney is that the attorney you appoint could abuse their power. It is not uncommon to hear of people claiming that their elderly parent with dementia wanted them to have the family home, or that they happy for them to take all their funds from their bank account as a thank you for taking care of them.

18.01.2022 When there are arguments about whether it is "De Facto" for the purposes of family law property settlement entitlement......

18.01.2022 Child custody disputes are not like any other court litigation. Emotions are running high; those involved may not think or act rationally or commercially and you cannot put any monetary value on the item in dispute (your children). You likely have intimate knowledge of the person you are disputing with and it is likely that at some point in the proceedings you will despise each other. You start to focus on all the bad traits of the person you are disputing with and you may lose sight of what is most important, that being, what is in the best interests of your children. Here is a list of the top 5 things not to do in a child custody dispute.

16.01.2022 Rigoli Lawyers are happy to announce that Maria Rigoli has been selected as one of the Finalists in the Australian Law Awards!

15.01.2022 In this case there was a dispute as to whether the Mother had not complied with a parenting order by not making the 4-year-old child available to spend time with his Father since late-March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The issue to consider was whether there was a reasonable excuse for the non compliance or not.

14.01.2022 If you and your partner can reach an agreement in regards to property and financial matters (including negotiations directly if appropriate otherwise through lawyers), you can save time, money and stress by not going to Court. However, formalising it means you have piece of mind knowing you have covered yourself in the future for any possible claims against your assets.

13.01.2022 This undermines confidence in the Victorian police constabulary

13.01.2022 The Court made findings that it was in the child’s best interest to not be separated from either parent and in particular the father, and ordered that the child and the mother relocate to Darwin.

11.01.2022 Victoria has the highest number of suppression orders of all the states.

11.01.2022 "It is not apparent, for example, why it has been deemed that the administration of justice for non-urgent matters can be postponed for six weeks [and possibly longer] but greyhound racing cannot."

09.01.2022 The High Court has been asked to decide whether the fact a judge and barrister were in secret contact, meeting for coffee and drinks and communicating by phone and text message, while a case was under way should have prompted a retrial of a protracted family law dispute.

08.01.2022 This is an illustration why good family law legal advice should be obtained and followed immediately after separation, to plan to protect claims well before time limits expire.

07.01.2022 When it comes to financial matters, the duty to disclose relates to any information as to earnings, interests, property, or any other financial resources to which a party has access whether directly or indirectly.

07.01.2022 "The fact there had been so few parliamentary sittings and no debate by MPs eroded public trust, he said. I think it creates the most dangerous precedent. I am alarmed that in Victoria there have been relatively no protests about what has happened. Mr Speed said he did not believe the time limit on emergency powers should be extended to 18 months and to do so would be a breach of the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities, which require any restriction on rights, such as free movement, to be reasonable and justified."

06.01.2022 A family violence order is an order made under a prescribed law of a state or territory to protect a person from family violence. Such orders may forbid one party from coming within a set distance of another party or stalking or harassing them. While they are always described as family violence orders, these orders are called different things in different state...
