The Family Law Act

The Family Law Act is legislation that governs family-related legal issues, such as divorce, child custody, and property division in Australia. It aims to ensure the best interests of children are prioritized in family disputes. The Act provides a framework for resolving disagreements between family members, encouraging mediation before court intervention, and outlining the rights and responsibilities of parents. It also addresses issues related to financial support and arrangements for children post-separation. Overall, the Family Law Act seeks to create fair outcomes for families during often challenging times.
