Contravention Applications – What Are They, and Should I Bring One Before the Court?
Posted by
Malcolm Gittoes-Caesar
on 2 Jul 2015
Even if parents go through the lengthy and expensive process of obtaining Orders in relation to their children, it is a sad reality that one, or both, won’t comply with them. Although attending Court should always be viewed as the last resort, often a parent may need to bring a Contravention Application before the Court. As it sounds, a Contravention Application is an application to the Court indicating that the other party isn’t complying with an Order, and seeks Orders to address it.

What is Parental Responsibility and why is it important in family law?
Posted by

on 7 Nov 2014
The Family Law Act refers to parents having “parental responsibility” for the children of their relationship and the court may by Order, provide for that parental responsibility to be “equal shared” (that is, shared by the parents) or “sole” (that is, exercised by one parent).

Parenting Orders for Young Children - What is best for your child?
Posted by
Karina Ralston
on 14 Aug 2014
The Family Law Court (“the Court”) recognises the period from birth to four years old is an important developmental stage for any child. The Court in making Parenting Orders often turn their mind to attachment theory, a social science concept that a child has a primary attachment to someone that provides that child with a sense of security and comfort (their mother, father or grandparents).

Meet the Step-Parents
Posted by
on 4 Oct 2013
The role of a step-parent can be a tough one. Whether it is achieving the acceptance of their step-children or at times bearing the brunt of the conflict between their spouse and his or her former partner, it is definitely not a role that is straight forward. Building trust and deciding what role they will play in each other’s lives are often common problems when establishing a relationship between step-parent and step-child.
