This month Ben and Heather addressed a wide array of family law questions from the community, touching on a number of common issues faced by people going through divorce and separation.
The questions included:
- Medical Court Orders: I have court orders giving me sole parental responsibility for my child's medical matters, but the medical centre is still allowing my ex to make decisions. What should I do?
- Passport Applications: I want to go overseas with my child, but my ex won't sign the passport application. What can I do?
- Visitation in Prison: My ex has gone to prison recently. Can I prevent future visitation by my children?
- Mediation Costs: It's been recommended that I have a solicitor & a barrister at mediation. Do I need to go to this expense?
- Domestic Violence: I failed to show up at to court when police charged my ex for domestic violence. Will this count against me in Family Court?
- Relocation: My partner is relocating. Do we need to get a lawyer involved to change parenting arrangements?
- Property Settlement: If I buy a new car before the property settlement is completed can my ex make a claim on the car?
- Advising Your Ex: Do I have to advise my ex that I've enrolled our child in daycare, when the child lives with me 100% of the time and I'm paying the costs?
- Supervised Visits: At what age can a child choose not to attend supervised visits?
