FAQs About Family Law
What is the difference between separation and divorce?
Separation refers to the process where a couple decides to live apart without necessarily ending the marriage legally. Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage, which can only be granted by a court order after a period of separation.
How is child custody determined?
Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child. Factors include the child's needs, the ability of each parent to meet those needs, the child's relationship with each parent, and any history of family violence.
What are my rights regarding property division after separation?
Property division is based on the principle of a fair and equitable split, taking into account each party’s contributions to the marriage (financial and non-financial), future needs, and the welfare of any children involved.
How can a de facto partner claim property rights?
In Melbourne, de facto partners have similar rights to married couples regarding property and financial settlements if the relationship has lasted at least two years, if there is a child of the relationship, or if significant contributions were made by one partner.
Can I change a child support agreement?
Yes, child support agreements can be modified if there are significant changes in circumstances, such as income changes, the needs of the child, or changes in care arrangements. It is advisable to seek legal advice for the modification process.
What is the process for obtaining a restraining order or intervention order?
To obtain a restraining order (intervention order) in Melbourne, you need to apply through the Magistrates’ Court. The court will assess the situation and may issue an order to protect you or your children from harm or harassment.
