About this listen
In this episode Ben and Heather are joined by barrister Rhys O'Brien, a specialist in complex family law matters, to talk about how the Court deals with Domestic Violence (Family Violence). They cover a wide range of topics, including the following:
- The difference between how a Family Law Court and a Criminal Court view domestic violence.
- Apprended Violence Orders (AVOs)
- Does there need to be an AVO in place before the Family Court considers domestic violence claims?
- What evidence does the Family Court need to satisfy itself that domestic violence is an issue?
- Will the court require Family Dispute Resolution (mediation) in domestic violence cases?
- How do accusations of domestic violence affect Parenting Order decisions?
- Can domestic violence claims impact a Court's decision about a financial settlement?
Also discussed was the Family Law Amendment Bill that has been passed through Parliament and will take effect in May 2024 and includes a "streamlined" parenting framework simplifying the "best interests factors". This legislation may impact how the Court deals with domestic violence issues when deciding children's matters.
