Following Your Ex = Evidence… Or Trouble?

Short answer: Trouble.

Tracking or following your former partner to “prove” an affair can seriously backfire — and often hurts your position more than it helps.

Courts want evidence, not surveillance.

Think before you act.

In Family Law, a parent is generally not prevented from relocating. However, the Court can intervene where a move would significantly impact a child’s ability to maintain a meaningful relationship with the other parent.

When parents are separated and living close to each other, relocation may not be an immediate issue. But circumstances can change over time.

Common reasons a parent may consider relocating include:
• Returning to a place with stronger family support
• Moving back to their place of origin
• Following a new partner who lives elsewhere
• Work or career opportunities in another location
• A desire for a fresh start in a new environment

These situations can quickly become complex where children are involved, particularly when one parent may be required to travel significant distances to maintain regular time.

That’s why it’s important to understand relocation issues early and, where possible, discuss parenting arrangements before circumstances change - rather than after decisions have already been made.

We ask so many questions at your first consultation for one reason - clarity.

The details matter. What seems small at first can completely change your options, your strategy, and the outcome.

It’s how we understand the full picture, not just part of the story.

Better questions upfront = better outcomes later.

Adoption isn’t just paperwork. It’s a life-changing legal pathway that permanently reshapes family relationships, rights, and responsibilities.

In Australia, adoption is the formal legal process where a person or couple becomes the child’s legal parent - taking on all parental rights and responsibilities from the biological parents.

For those looking to formalise an existing bond later in life, adult adoption can also provide a way to legally recognise a parent-child relationship when the “child” is over 18.

There are three main types of adoption in Australia:
• Child adoptions (including relative, stepparent, or carer adoptions)
• Local adoptions (where there is no prior relationship with the child)
• Intercountry adoptions (where a child is adopted from overseas)

While some pathways are managed through government and approved agencies, our role is to support clients through child and adult adoption matters, helping them understand their rights, obligations, and the legal steps involved.

Because at its core, adoption is about more than legal status - it’s about securing belonging, stability, and the legal recognition of family.

If you’re considering adoption, speaking with an experienced family lawyer can help you understand the process and what applies to your situation.

One of the biggest misconceptions we see? Many people believe their Will automatically changes after separation or divorce - but in many cases, it doesn’t.

That means an ex-partner you named years ago could still remain as your Executor or beneficiary if your Will hasn’t been updated.

At Family Focus Legal, we help make the process of preparing or updating your Will straightforward, personalised and tailored to your circumstances. Whether you need to consider minor children, blended families, second marriages or protecting your wishes from potential disputes, our team can guide you through it with clear and practical advice.

We also offer safe custody storage for your Will at no cost, giving you added peace of mind.

Planning ahead isn’t just about paperwork - it’s about protecting the people and future that matter most to you.

One allegation can change everything. Parenting arrangements, handovers, communication, overnight visits and even whether a parent can see their children at all can all be impacted by family violence claims. Most people don’t realise how seriously the Court treats this.

Child support is managed by Services Australia and calculated using a set formula — not guesswork.

It considers both parents’ incomes, number of children, the cost of raising them, and how much time each parent spends with the children.

An online calculator is also available to help estimate payments or entitlements.

If you believe a child support assessment is incorrect, you may be able to apply for a review — however, these processes can be complex and legal advice is often recommended.

Families can also enter into Binding or Limited Child Support Agreements, allowing parents to set arrangements independently of an assessment, including contributions toward expenses like school fees and activities.

If you need guidance on child support or family law matters, our team can help you understand your options and next steps.

Here are our 3 top family law myths we see all the time—and they can lead to costly mistakes if taken as fact.
