 Recorded Webinar: Family Violence and Property Adjustments: Developments since Kennon & Kennon

Date: Tuesday 9th May 2023
Duration: Approximately 1 Hour

 ABOUT THE WEBINAR
The stresses and strains of the last 12 months has contributed to a steep increase in domestic violence, which had already been on the rise over the last decade. This session will examine the extent to which the courts are willing to consider domestic violence in property settlements, and whether changes in community tolerances will further impact such considerations, including:

  • Recognition of domestic violence in the Family Law Act – section 79
  • The “Kennon adjustment” explained: Kennon & Kennon [1997] FamCA 27 and required level of evidence of family violence
  • Relevant cases following Kennon: Britt & Britt [2019] FamCA 982; Keating & Keating [2019] FamCAFC 46
  • Tips for raising a Kennon adjustment
  • Extension of Kennon to post-separation behaviour: Jarvis & Seymour [2016] FCCA 1676
  • Has the courts’ view shifted on the effect of domestic violence on property adjustments over the last decade?
  • Lessons from overseas jurisdictions and steps to reform in Australia
