A Scary Truth About Family Law
“There are blokes who are victims, there are women who are victims, and most tragically there are children who are victims. It’s just an awful human mess,” said Prime Minister Scott Morrison in September, 2019 when responding to the comments about the family law system. Unless you are willing to go only with your gut and risk being sucked into the vortex of “an awful human mess” – your best interests are served by consulting with experts in family law. Professionals who know the ins and outs of how the system functions – and how to make sure you come through the process properly represented and with the best possible legal outcomes.
