What is “Coercive Control” and why is it suddenly in the news?

By Alecia Featherstone
February 17, 2021
The Premier’s recent announcement that there will be a taskforce set up to investigate Coercive Control laws, to be chaired by Justice Margaret McMurdo, former president of the Queensland Court of Appeal, is welcome news.  Effectively the role of the taskforce is to investigate and report back on how best to introduce legislation to criminalise this behaviour. The term “coercive control” may be fairly unfamiliar to many, however in a nutshell it is a non-physical…

There has been an allegation of Domestic Violence in my Family Law matter – what’s next?

By Kiara Greenway
February 3, 2021
The media is often captivated by the incidence of a celebrity embroiled in an application for a family violence protection order.  It is essential to keep in mind when reading these reports that every respondent is innocent of the behaviour alleged until findings are made by a Court of law. So, what actually is the process that leads to potential findings of domestic violence? When an application for a protection order (as it is…

What do the New South Wales border closures mean for our parenting arrangements over the Christmas holidays?

By Best Wilson Buckley Family Law
December 22, 2020
As of 1am this morning (Tuesday 22 December, 2020), Queensland residents travelling from anywhere in New South Wales that is not a current declared hotspot must apply for a Queensland Border Declaration Pass before returning to Queensland. Further, anyone travelling from a declared hotspot can only enter Queensland by air and will be forced to quarantine in government-arranged accommodation at their own expense. The above direction obviously has significant implications for children travelling between states…

I need help with my domestic violence matter but my lawyer is closed for Christmas – what can I do?

By Alecia Featherstone
December 17, 2020
Unfortunately Christmas may not be a happy time for all. Domestic violence continues to permeate our society and whilst most of us are enjoying our Christmas ham and time with family, others are suffering, sometimes cut off from family and friends.  The isolation of their situation heightens, particularly at this time of year. Law firms, like many other businesses, often close for a short period of time at Christmas and so it is important to…

How can I resolve my family law matter outside of Court?

By Max Sutton
December 16, 2020
When you hear the phrase “family law” you might immediately start thinking about long legal battles, arguments, solicitors, barristers and court. This is inevitable given our family law system is structured on a piece of legislation (the Family Law Act) that effectively tries to explain and set out how people should act when they are involved in a dispute regarding children and/or property. Needless to say, going to court is a costly and timely process.…

Why do I need to seek financial advice after separating?

By Kara Best
December 8, 2020
There was an article in the Sunday Mail a few weeks ago which identified the suburbs in Queensland where it is cheaper to now buy a property and service a mortgage than rent. That article highlighted for me the importance of each of my clients prioritising a financial plan as an essential component of the property settlement process. So many talk about financial advice being too expensive or beyond reach but, in many instances, the…

“It’s not fair”

By Kara Best
December 3, 2020
“I have a right to see my children” “You have no right to prevent me from spending time with my kids” “It’s only fair that the kids live with us equally” “It’s my time when the kids are with me, and you’re not to contact the kids” I’ve had lots of practise explaining that the law, in its present form, renders each of the comments above deeply flawed. Why? In short, it transpires that you…

What do I do if my ex-partner and I don’t agree on a new school?

By Georgia Dight
November 3, 2020
With term 4 now well underway, parents of children teetering on the brink of high school are starting the process of considering the next steps in the child’s education (if they haven’t already). Just like other important decisions about children, the selection of a school (at any age) is a matter that needs to be agreed by both parents. This is regardless of who the child lives with or how long the child spends with…
