About the Webinar

The addition of a second limb to the test in Rice v Asplund (1979) FL90-725 adds a new challenge to applicants wishing to amend final parenting orders. This session will explore the new legislation with a view to determining how the outcomes for children and parents may change going forward, including:

  • A re-examination of the Rice v Asplund test and the background to its codification
  • Why the change?
  • The new second limb “best interests” requirement and its application
  • Will the change make it more difficult to bring fresh proceedings?
  • What involvement will the children have in the process?
  • Even where both parents consent to changes to their final parenting orders, will both limbs need to be satisfied?
  • Does the previous case law still provide a precedent to application of the test?
  • Applying for a variation of orders made prior to the amendments removing the presumption of shared parental responsibility– how to apply the amendments
  • What recent cases tell us
