The New Draft Family Law Amendment Bill (no. 2) 2023

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.

    Sometimes I Just Need to Switch Off

    11 September, 2005

    Well here it is, Saturday morning, and Warwick rang me for my article and I had nothing prepared. I was wandering around a shopping centre not particularly looking for anything, just in a bit of a daze. You see, sometimes things just get the better of me, and sometimes I just switch off. An interview I had recorded with Southern Cross Ten State Focus was just aired today, which was just ...
