New National Website on Family Violence Launched

Announcement posted by Divorce.com.au 02 May 2019

Family law firm Watts McCray has been using their Facebook page to raise awareness for the new national website on domestic and family violence. Family Violence Law Help is a website by National Legal Aid for people affected by domestic and family violence. It has been funded by the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department.

The new national website for people wanting to understand domestic and family violence, the law, and where to get help has been launched recently. The website has been created to aid people affected by domestic and family violence. It contains free and easy to read information, and relevant contact details should someone need to seek further assistance.

Complex cases that involve family violence demand a personalised approach and the expert guidance of a dedicated lawyer. Watts McCray lawyers can discuss circumstances and provide expert advice in all types of situations. Their resource-filled website divorce.com.au are for those who want to find out more about divorce in Australia, quickly and easily apply for a divorce, or contact a divorce lawyer in Australia to help them resolve their situation. 

Family Violence Law Help was set up to help promote each State and Territory’s Family Advocacy and Support Service and to provide information for people affected by domestic and family violence. In Australia, there are different laws and courts for issues that feel connected. People may find themselves involved in three separate legal systems. They may have a Domestic Violence Order, which are different in every State and Territory. There could be some family law issues, like making arrangements for children, divorce, dividing property after separation or child support. Family law issues are usually dealt with in the Family Courts. Family law is the same across Australia, with some small differences in Western Australia. There could also be a child protection agency involved with the family. The laws around child protection are different in each State and Territory, and matters are dealt with in the Children’s Court or Youth Court.

As this can be confusing for people in these difficult situations, the website has arranged topics by legal problem type. This website has general information about the law, but all legal problems are different. Family lawyers like Watts McCray can provide specific legal advice.
