Family Law

The new draft Family Law Amendment Bill (no. 2) 2023 has been posted on the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s website for discussion. It proposes to use family violence issues to provide a greater transfer of the property (and superannuation) from one party to the other party. This is after divorce or separation.

However, it is not only about individuals, which will be the majority of cases.

If passed, it also affects one of the current loopholes, viz. trusts. This new draft Family Law Amendment Bill (no. 2) 2023 is also going to bring trusts into the equation through new section 10KI,  “Compliance by entities that are not legal persons”.

As a result, if passed by Parliament, unproven family violence accusations will also be used to get a bigger property settlement from family trusts, as well as from individuals. This is to cut off any loopholes. This is an interesting move by the Attorney-General.

    How Was Your Day?

    7 October, 2022

    I know that I gravitate to the happy, good things that each day of adventure delivers. Still, there are those occasional times when I struggle as great joy butts squarely up against sadness. I can have tears leak out while wearing a delighted smile. The simultaneous happy-sad thing doesn’t happen too often. Typically, it comes of wondering where my children are right now, wanting a moment to walk a bit with ...

    Trying to Get It Right

    30 July, 2022

    My life as a dad is whatever you get when you tumble excitement and pride and joy and sweet-sadness and wholeheartedness together. The heady mix of emotion had me blurt out an “I love you” to my girls on their mum’s voicemail and spontaneously add: “I am just so proud to be your dad!” My thoughts turn often to my earthly angels when they are not in my care. While there ...
