Comment on Family Law Act amendments

The Australian Government is inviting comment on draft legislative amendments to the Family Law Act 1975.

The amendments aim to strengthen the powers of the courts to protect victims of family violence with measures such as criminalising breaches of personal protection injunctions and increasing the power of the court to dismiss unmeritorious claims.

Submissions must be received by 5pm AEDT Friday, 20 January 2017
