About the Webinar

Today’s increasing globalisation means that the numbers of couples and families who are residents, own property have property interests and/or run businesses in other countries is on the rise. While Australian lawyers cannot (and should not) provide advice to their clients about their legal entitlements in other countries, they do need to have a basic understanding of how other countries may deal with property or children in order to formulate advice to the client about their Australian family law options, identify potential forum issues, and know when to seek advice from a qualified lawyer in the relevant country. Through a series of practical case studies, this session will explore:

  • The forum tests in Australia for family law property and parenting matters
  • Tips and tricks in running family law property settlement matters which involve property in other countries, including England, New Zealand, the United States and China (Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China)
  • An overview of how family law property settlements and parenting disputes tend to be handled in those other countries
  • How to identify potential issues which may arise for their clients involving other jurisdictions
  • When (and how) to seek localised specialist advice or assistance
