Understanding Pre-Action Procedures for Parenting Matters.
It’s essential for each party to earnestly try to resolve their dispute and adhere to pre-action procedures, including mediation, before beginning parenting proceedings. Failure to comply can lead to serious repercussions, such as being ordered to pay the other party’s legal costs.
Seeking parenting orders from the court should be considered only if all other attempts to resolve the issue have not succeeded. If parents can’t agree on child care, either parent can ask the Court for a decision. If they do agree, they can request the Court to turn their agreement into a legal document, called a consent order. Decisions the Court makes in these cases are known as parenting orders. Everyone must follow a parenting order once it’s made.
Child Relocation
Relocating with a child to a different city, state, or country requires careful consideration. If you’re the primary caregiver and need to relocate, it’s important to first discuss it with the other parent. If an agreement can’t be reached, you may seek court orders for the move.
Sorting out property and debt division after separating from a marriage or de facto relationship.
When a couple separates, be it from marriage or a de facto relationship, they often need to determine the division of their property and debts. This may include considerations for financial support, either as spousal or de facto maintenance for an individual, or as child support or maintenance for any children involved. If possible and safe, reaching an agreement with your former spouse or partner is usually the best course of action.
In family law, there’s no set formula for dividing property and finances. If you can’t reach an agreement through dispute resolution, your case may go to a hearing. While no one can predict the exact outcome, an experienced family lawyer can often foresee a range of possible decisions based on your specific circumstances.
Decisions are made after considering all evidence, with the judicial officer determining what is just and equitable (fair according to the law) based on the unique facts of your case.
Although there’s no single definition of domestic and family violence that applies across all Australian states and territories, various laws recognize it in different forms and contexts. Domestic and family violence can manifest in numerous ways and occur in diverse relationships.
