From 10 June 2025, the Family Law Act 1975 includes changes to the law about:

• how the family law courts will determine a property settlement; and
• what the family law courts will consider when determining a property settlement.

This includes the economic effect of any family violence, where relevant.

In this seminar, Senior Judicial Registrar Rice of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1) and Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2) and Michael Drysdale KC explore the key changes to the legislation as well as the practical implications of the amendments for practitioners and their clients.
