Family law system - discussion paper - November 2004
A new approach to the family law system
Closing date for submissions was 14 January 2005
On 10 November the Government released a discussion paper seeking input from the community into the implementation of wide-ranging reforms to the family law system.
The reforms follow the report of the parliamentary inquiry into child custody arrangements in the event of family separation 'Every Picture Tells a Story' and include the establishment of a new network of 65 community-based Family Relationship Centres which will help parents reach agreement on parenting arrangements after separation.
The deadline for submissions was 14 January 2005 and the Government is considering the outcome of the consultations.
