Meet Frances, one of our talented solicitors at Wallace Perkins Family Law.

Frances first joined our team in early 2019 as part of the support team whilst studying her Bachelor of Laws (Honours) at the Queensland University of Technology. Frances left us for a brief period to seek out new experiences and was privileged to be appointed as a Legal Associate in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1). During her time at the court , Frances gained an invaluable insight into the procedural and legal workings of the court which has greatly assisted her upon return to practice.

Frances returned to Wallace Perkins Family Law as a Law Graduate while completing her Practical Legal Training through the College of Law. She was admitted as a solicitor in September 2024 and has been a valued member of our legal team ever since.

Frances is also a keen world traveller and speaks fluent French having resided in overseas countries throughout her childhood.

Frances brings a thoughtful, client-focused approach to her work and continues to make a meaningful contribution to the families we support.

We are privileged that Frances has returned to our family here at Wallace Perkins Family Law!

Big changes have arrived for pet lovers going through separation. As of 10 June 2025, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia now has the power to make specific property orders about pets in property settlement proceedings.

This is a significant shift. While "companion animals" are still classified as property, the Court now has discretion to consider their welfare and the practical realities of pet ownership; including who provides day-to-day care and who is best placed to continue doing so.

Under the recent amendments the Court may:
- Order ownership of the companion animal to one party;
- Transfer the companion animal to another person who agrees to the transfer; or
- Order the companion animal be sold with proceeds divided.

No other orders can be made, for example, “shared care arrangement” or “change-over arrangements”.

When considering what order to make the Court will consider the following factors:

- How and when the companion animal was acquired;
- Who currently has possession of the companion animal;
- Each party’s past and future care (feeding, vet bills, exercise, grooming);
- Any history of family violence, cruelty or threats toward the companion animal by a party;
- The bond between the companion animal and either party, or the children;
- Each party’s ability to look after the companion animal moving forward; and
- Any other circumstance the Court considers relevant.

If your separation involves a beloved furry (or feathered) family member, book a confidential appointment with our experienced team (call us on 07 3171 4233 or email [email protected]) .

Last Thursday, our team attended an insightful Professional Development Event hosted by The Therapeutic Family Law Professionals (TFLP), featuring renowned Clinical Psychologist Peter Jordan. The session focused on personality disorders within the family law sector. A complex and often misunderstood area impacting many families.

We understand that mental health conditions can deeply impact families during separation and regularly assist clients with family law matters involving complex mental health, high-conflict parenting, and personality disorders.

Our solicitors understand the emotional and practical complexities involved in high-conflict parenting matters, especially where personality disorders or trauma are present.

If you need support with a Family Law matter involving mental health concerns, contact our team today.
