Shockingly, family violence is present in 80% of parenting matters before family courts. The Family Law Amendment Bill 2024 ensures, for the first time, that family and domestic violence can be taken into consideration in property settlements for separating families.

The new law:

🔴 ensures the economic impact of family violence is considered where relevant as part of dividing property and finances
🔴 ensures the care and housing needs of children are considered in financial and property decisions
🔴 ensures financial information is disclosed at the earliest opportunity to promote the early resolution of disputes
🔴 expands the court's ability to use less adversarial approaches in all types of proceedings
🔴 establishes a regulatory framework for Children's Contact Services to ensure the provision of safe and child-focussed services for children whose families are unable to safely manage contact arrangements on their own

The reforms to Family Law now include our furry friends 🐾 Here's the full statement from the Albanese government on what this means for you:

"We know that pets are too often used and abused in cycles of family violence. The new law means that courts will consider a range of factors, including family violence, when determining ownership of pets to better protect everyone in the family."
