Proposed Family Court changes - information from NZ Law Society

The Family Law Section of the NZ Law Society is collating information on the proposed changes to the Family Court. They have produced four Fact Sheets: Changes to New Zealand’s Family Court system, Children’s voices in the Family Court, Compulsory Family Dispute Resolution Service fee will cause problems and Retaining the right to legal representation in the Family Court. They are also listing media articles on the reforms: see here.

Legislation containing the Government's proposed changes is expected to be introduced in Parliament in November or December 2012.
