Navigating Spousal Maintenance in an Era of Rising Inflation In recent years, the costs of living has increased exponentially due to inflation, impacting many parts of everyday life, including spousal maintenance. As essential goods and services become more expensive, a fixed maintenance amount that was once ordered or agreed upon, may no longer be adequate to meet the recipient’s needs. In this article, our Lawyer, Shannon Jenkin, outlines what spousal maintenance is and how inflation continues to affect the financial responsibilities arising following divorce or separation.

On Thursday, 5 September 2024, the Mills Oakley Family Law Sydney Team had a wonderful evening hosting the Robes & Rosé CPD Series, which delved into the cutting edge world of parenting disputes. Some images of the evening and the fantastic panel are below. #learning #parentingcoordination #familyreports #familylaw
Thank you so much to Susan Warda and Mills Oakley Family Law Sydney for hosting another Robes & Rosé with wonderful speakers Bianca Roche-Bolger, Antonia Marran and Dr Catherine Boland. This is now the 7th installment of these events which were set-up with the idea that we could bring together the family law profession in Sydney, after covid with the goal of socialising, learning and drinking together in the hopes that the connections we create will help us be better practitioners and better to one another whenever we deal with people going through, at times, the worst experience in their life - it's so hard to stay neutral, respectful, kind and good to one another when day-in, day-out you are hearing someone in immense pain and you as a lawyer want to do everything you can to help that person paying you immense money to assist - the events are designed to remind us all that we are in this together... with all sincerity and love to all our sponsors, attendees and you who have made this such a popular event.

“Kids say the darndest things – Child Inclusive Mediation, Parenting Co-ordination and Family Reports” On Thursday, 5 September 2024, the Mills Oakley Family Law Sydney Team are proud to be hosting the Robes & Rosé CPD Series, which will delve into the cutting edge world of parenting disputes. The Panel will consist of our Associate, Antonia Marran, Parenting Coordinator, Bianca Roche-Bolger, Mediator/FDRP of The The Mediation Collective, and Dr Catherine Boland, Clinical Psychologist and Principal at The Relationspace, with our Team Leader, Susan Warda as Chair.

We look forward to hosting and seeing you all there! #familylaw #parentingdisputes #parentingcoordination
As the world evolves and the expectations of parenting (and childhood) change from generation to generation and from culture to culture, family lawyers are constantly thrown into the chaos of technology, tools, ideas and methods of dispute resolution that develop to deal with separating families, dysfunction and conflict. Robes & Rosé CPD Series is pleased to announce its next CPD event which delves into that cutting-edge world of parenting disputes: "Kids Say the Darndest Things" - Child Inclusive Mediation, Parenting Coordination and Family Reports: 5 September 2024 at 5.30pm (for 6pm start) at the Offices of Mills Oakley 7/151 Clarence Street SYDNEY RSVP by 2 September 2024 to angelo@myraaris.com.au The panel will consist of Antonia Marran (Family Lawyer/Parenting Coordinator), Bianca Roche-Bolger The Mediation Collective (Mediator/FDRP) and Dr Catherine Boland (Clinical Psychologist & Principal The Relationspace) with Susan Warda (Principal Mills Oakley) as chair. Please join us as we learn about the future of parenting disputes in early spring weather with Jacaranda's blooming all over the streets and damaging your cars with that sap they drop but also cold wine and that cheese with the pepper seeds in it (you know that one with the little black pellets in it?). See you there!

In November 2022, the NSW Parliament passed the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Coercive Control) Bill 2022. This means that from July 2024, coercive control in current and former intimate partner relationships will be a criminal offence in NSW, carrying a maximum penalty of 7 years imprisonment. In this article, Paralegal Scarlett Southey outlines what coercive control is, and how it can affect family law matters. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g7nN7qCf
