Family Law

Meg asked:


Are AVOs or ADVOs recognized in Family Law anywhere?
Dose the Family Law Act or similar, state that each state/territory has their own Family Violence Order?

Thanks

I am going through property settlement, I go to trial next year, my question is. My ex has made me an offer on Thursday last week( via his and my lawyers), my lawyer phoned me and told me of the offer, I advised him that I accept the offer, my lawyer is accepting the offer on my behalf, now my ex has informed other family members that he is going to withdraw his offer!!! Can he do this?? Please help, I dont know what to do.

Hi my step sons father has moved to another country and is pressing through the Australian family law court for the 10yr old son to visit him, the child has been to reportable counseling sessions for the court and has stated constantly that he does not wish to travel overseas , but would just see his father when he returns to Australia .
The court has been given this info and has still made orders forcing the child to travel overseas unwillingly …can the court force a child to travel like this against his will ? What rights does the child have ??
The courts ruling has made the child very upset to the point he cry’s every day and refuses to speak to his father ( for this reason I have organized counselling for the child ) I need any advice that could help the child …thankyou

My wife and I are having real problems at the moment with her ten year old daughter’s father.

He refuses to take her to saturday sport as it interferes with “his” time with her among many other issues.

Some people have told us that when she is 14, she can chose what time she wants to spend with him on weekends and during holidays anyway.

What truth is there in this?
