I found the practical implications of the proposed amendments helpful. I could clearly see the changes I need to make in my advice, practice and precedents. Thank you to the presenters, FLENA and JustFund for today's presentation on the Family Law Reform. In an adversarial jurisdiction, it is refreshing to be able to discuss these matters collegially.

Very good coverage of the topic. I was interested in the tangential discussion about how to manage gnarly questions around financial disclosure - redacting, requirements on practitioners etc. It was great to hear how other practitioners deal with those gnarly questions. This would be a great topic for a seminar - perspectives on dealing with common pain points like this!
