Family Law Reforms - good progress in Australia

The new Australian Family Law Amendment (Shared Parental Responsibility) Bill 2005 was introduced into the Australian Parliament this morning, 8 December 2005.

Edward Dabrowski, Federal Director of Shared Parenting Council of Australia when commenting on the bill said:

"Today is a really big turning point in Family law in this country. Though the reforms are not perfect in all ways and the Bill will not be enacted until February 2006, we now have a good foundation stone on which to build.”
