About the Webinar

The paramount consideration in any parenting case is determining what is in the best interest of the child. There are a range of factors that should be considered. However, as the High Court demonstrated recently in Bondelmonte v Bondelmonte, not all factors are given equal weight. This practical session looks at how the court assesses what is in the best interest of the child. It covers:

  • What does “best interests of the child” mean?
  • Understanding the primary and additional considerations under the Family Law Act
  • Children’s express wishes and views – what weight are they given?
  • Spotlight on the High Court’s decision in Bondelmonte v Bondelmonte [2017] HCA 8
  • Parental alienation – how do the courts respond?
  • Court delays in determining parenting matters – how does this impact parental responsibility?
  • Recent cases
