Family law and children, de-facto relationship law

In property adjustment cases, there is no presumption of equality. The 50:50 split is not a principle of law or a right.  The wife’s homemaker and parent contribution ought to be recognised in a substantial and not a token way. Any property adjustment will be contribution driven.

With children’s and parenting time cases, there is a presumption of equal shared parenting responsibility, however, the best interests of a child will always be first and paramount and  rebut that presumption.
