About the Webinar
Under the Family Law Act, de facto couples and married couples have virtually the same rights when it comes to the application of laws governing property and parental arrangements. However, do the cases tell a different tale? This session will examine trends in decision-making through a number of cases and provide guidance for case preparation with your client’s specific circumstances in mind, including:
- The law is clear but is it reflected in the practical reality of the cases?
- How is the financially weaker party in a shorter de facto relationship or marriage treated?
- How are the courts viewing property adjustments in same sex relationships particularly when there are no children involved? How does this contrast with decisions involving heterosexual relationships?
- Is there a conservative/traditional bias in the courts towards married and/or heterosexual couples?
- Some tips for when you are advising clients who do not fall within the conservative/traditional dynamic
