16th Annual Family Law Conference e-book

The last 12 months have been one of the most challenging times for family lawyers: fluctuating property values, coupled with the lingering effects of COVID-19, have coincided with the biggest overhaul in family law since 1975. This year’s program covers a range of important and topical issues for family lawyers, including a critical review of the new FCFCOA, managing high conflict parenting, as well as counting the cost of family violence on property settlements. It also includes a deep dive into superannuation splitting, as well as challenging the experts in asset valuations.
