Bruce Provan, Managing Director and accredited family law specialist at Page Provan, explains how the family court decides parenting cases.
In this episode:
Why the "best interests of the child" is the paramount consideration under the Family Law Act, and what evidence the court draws on to decide it
The role of family reports and child impact reports, usually prepared by a psychologist or social worker, and why their recommendations carry real weight
When an independent children's lawyer is appointed to represent the children, including their obligation to speak with the children directly
The key factors under section 60CC of the Family Law Act — the child's safety, views, developmental and emotional needs, each parent's care capacity, and significant relationships
Why the court must also consider the cultural needs and heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
