Family Law
What is family law?
Family law in Australia is mainly governed by the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) which deals with all aspects of family matters and domestic relations. Family law covers issues such as the termination of marriages or de-facto relationships through separation and/or divorce, property disputes, child custody, paternity testing and even child abuse, abduction and domestic violence.
