Family Law

Family Law

-FAMILY LAW ESSAY-

“EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN RECOGNISING, REGULATING AND PROTECTNG THE MANY TYPES OF FAMILIES THAT EXIST”

A family is defined as 'two or more persons, one of whom is at least 15 years of age, who are related by blood, marriage (registered or de facto), adoption or fostering, who are usually resident in the same household' (ABS).  The Family Law Act 1975 protects this concept of 'Family'.  However, often the effectiveness of the legal system in recognising, regulating and protecting the different types of families that exist is debated.  The most common types of families that exist in the Australian society today are marriages, de facto relationship, ATSI and customary marriages and same-sex relationships.  Historically, the concept of 'Family' that was recognised by the legal system differed largely to the one that is present today.  Women in the past were often on the wrong side of the scale where marriages and divorces were concerned and alternative family arrangements were not recognised in the law, given them little or no regulation and protection.  However over time as the society's morals and ethic changed about 'Family', the law was amended to recognise,
