Feeling uncertain: Understanding entitlements to property settlements and parenting arrangements after separation‪.‬ Pathways Through the System

When people don’t know their legal rights and entitlements to property settlements and don’t understand the family law parenting framework, it can lead to disputes and conflict. Early access to accurate information, resources and services is the best way to lay the foundation for an amicable and positive outcome that is family focused. 

The story for this episode is from Simon who has recently separated but who wants to make sure the relationship with his ex remains amicable for the sake of the children. He has no experience with the family law system and is unsure about whether to self-represent or engage professional help.

Award winning lawyer, Carolyn Devries, welcomes seasoned experts from the family services sector: Jack Whelan barrister and mediator and co founder of the Separation Guide, David Curl from the For Kids Sake, Linda Maitland from New Way Lawyers, Australia’s first non profit law firm and Anne Dale from Grant Thornton.
