Recent measures to support cost-effective property and financial settlements for separating families in Australia
The vast majority of married and de facto couples separating in Australia have modestly valued asset pools with simple asset profiles. This article discusses two complementary programmes initially funded by the Australian Government under the Women’s Economic Security Package (WESP). These programmes are the Lawyer-assisted Family Law Property Mediation (LAM) programme available at legal aid commissions in each Australian state and territory, and…

More present than absent: Men who use domestic violence and their fathering
An earlier article referred to the “absent presence” of the perpetrator in the lives of children and their mothers who have lived with domestic violence.

The present paper contextualizes this significant shift in policy and practice. It th…
