Are marriages that originated outside Australia recognised under the Family Law of Australia?

The general rule with respect to marriages is that if a marriage is legally recognised in a foreign country, then it will be recognised in Australia, subject to the following exceptions:

- If either of the parties at the time was still married to another person;
- If either of the parties was not of marriageable age (18 years old) if he/she was domiciled in Australia;
- If the parties are within a prohibited relationship (being an ancestor, descendent or a brother and a sister);
- If there was no real consent (for example, because it was obtained by duress or fraud; because of mistaken identity; mistaken understanding of the nature of the ceremony being performed; or if a party is mentally incapable of understanding the nature and effect of the marriage ceremony)

There is no need (and it is not possible) to register a foreign marriage in Australia. With the exceptions listed above, a foreign marriage certificate can be shown as proof of a marriage in Australia, and it will be accepted as legal.

Any type of married couple (or de-facto couple) has access to rights under the Australian Family Law Act as long as there is a jurisdictional connection to Australia.

TRUE OR FALSE? In Japan, it is illegal to be clinically obese.
TRUE.

The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare passed the "Metabo Law" in 2008. This law says that men and women between the ages of 40 and 74 must get their waist circumference measured every year.

The maximum size for men is 33.5 inches and the maximum size for women is 35.4 inches.

The law was made to deal with the government's biggest worries, which were preventing diseases like type 2 diabetes from becoming epidemics, the huge costs of paying for health care for Japan's (growing) older population, who usually get it from the government or their employer, and the low birth rates, which would mean that there would be fewer young people to pay taxes.

In addition, it requires companies’ health insurers to provide weight loss classes to employees that have become overweight or met certain other criteria.

Companies and local governments that don't meet certain goals are then fined by the government.

Increasing your visitation rights means that you will get more time to spend with your children and maintain a healthy and wholesome relationship with them.

Some actions you can take to be more involved in your children’s lives and show your ex partner and the court that you are pro-active include:
- Not limiting your involvement to the time you spend together and child support
- Staying informed about extracurricular activities and trying to show up by asking your ex for details in advance
- Adding yourself as a contact in your child’s school
- Trying to offer support to the primary care parent by taking on some of their responsibilities

Once you make changes and become more involved in your child’s life, you can try to approach your ex about increasing your visitation rights. You may resort to mediation if you feel that may yield better results.

If you have more questions about visitation rights in Australia, you should read this guide from Justice Family Lawyers: https://justicefamilylawyers.com.au/child-custody/visitation-rights/

Can I apply for a divorce in Australia if I married overseas?

An Australian Court has the jurisdiction to grant a divorce if you were married outside of Australia, as long as at least one of the following pre-conditions applies:

- You or your spouse are domiciled in Australia (domiciled means you regard Australia as your home and intend to live indefinitely in Australia); or
- You or your spouse are an Australian Citizen; or
- You or your spouse ordinarily live in Australia and have lived in Australia for at least one year immediately before applying for divorce.

As long as one of the above conditions is satisfied, then the Family Court of Australia or the Federal Magistrates Court will be able to hear your divorce application.
This means that, even if you live outside of Melbourne or Victoria, we may be able to apply for a divorce on your behalf without you needing to come to Melbourne.

Can you withhold your child from their other parent?

In Australia, you are required to comply with court orders regarding parental matters, and that will generally stipulate that both parties have access to a child. So, you cannot withhold your child from their other parent.

However, in some extreme circumstances, you may withhold your child from the other parent. In these cases, the welfare of the child is compromised, and they could be in danger. These extreme cases usually involve:
- Situations where there is a history of family violence or abuse;
- Substance abuse, including drugs and alcohol; and
- The other parent has extreme mental health problems that may endanger the welfare of a child.

If you find yourself in the above situation and feel for your safety or that of your child, obtain legal advice on the next steps before you breach court orders. It is also advisable that you try to resolve the problem with the other parent of your child informally. If you are unable to do so, it may be best to approach the court and seek to get the court orders changed to reflect your current situation.
