From tribefamilylawyers.com.au: Recent changes to the Australian Family Law Act, set to take effect in early 2025, introduce significant updates regarding property settlements, including a broadened definition of family violence and its impact on financial arrangements.

New provisions will also address the treatment of family pets during separation, streamline divorce procedures, and enhance privacy protections for sensitive personal information.

These reforms aim to reflect contemporary values and improve the legal framework to protect vulnerable parties while ensuring fair asset division.
