Parents have ongoing legal obligations to financially support children of the relationship following separation and the level of support required is usually determined with reference to the formula set out by the Child Support legislation.
Family Dispute Resolution (mediation for short) is a non-legal facilitated conversation between separated parties trying to reach agreement about the kids, finances, or both.
The term Family Violence is used to detail abusive behaviours including physical, sexual, emotional, psychological and financial abuse or coercively controlling behaviour.
Sometimes the breakdown of a relationship can leave one party concerned and struggling to financially support themselves moving forward.
Financial security is understandably a big concern for many people contemplating or going through separation.
When it comes to kids’ care arrangements, the law is pretty clear: the kids have the rights, parents have the responsibilities.
