16. New Family Law Reforms: Best Interests of the Child with Colin Forrest SC
Going through a relationship breakdown is difficult for anyone. When you add children to the equation and tensions escalate to the point of legal proceedings, it's hard to spot a winner.
That’s why the 2024 amendments to the Family Law Act 1975 hold such significant interest for those working in the field or facing a family law matter.
In this episode, Senior Associate and Practice Leader of Relationship Law, Rob Dilley, talks to Arbitrator, Mediator and Barrister, Colin Forrest SC. Colin also served as a trial judge in the Family Court of Australia for ten years before resigning in 2021.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
The new amendments that place the rights of the child to see the parents at the forefront (not the rights of the parents to see the child)
Why it’s now harder for court orders to be changed
How the role of Independent Children’s Lawyers has changed
