She acts for insurers, self-insureds and underwriters with respect to complex public liability, product liability and property damage claims.

Shared parenting laws having an impact.

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Research conduced by the Child Support Agency shows increased co-operation between parents.

In February 2008,  34% of receiving parents and 40% of paying parents considered their relationship with the other parent “co-operative”.  Research undertaken in August 2008 has seen this increase to 49% of receiving parents and 51% of paying parents.

I suspect that the shared parenting laws are having an impact.

What an Interesting Idea!

Fixed term marriage contracts as proposed by Helen Goltz in the Courier Mail today.

Just imagine the stress at renewal time, especially when the `eternity’ contract is on the kitchen table.

What a bizarre development, well… Our family law team at Barry and Nilsson Lawyers thinks so, anyway…
