Family Law has changed. The Family Law requires parents to attempt to resolve issues related to their children through Family Dispute Resolution (or a similar service) before being able to initiate proceedings in the Family Court. Exceptions could apply to this rule such as family violence or urgent matters. The two services below can assist you in this area.
Centrecare Services relating to family dispute resolution in the Perth metropolitan area.
Family Law Counselling- a Centrecare service to help people better manage their relationship or family problems.
Family Relationship Centre (FRC)-
The Midland Family Relationship Centre provides information and
confidential assistance for families during all stages of their lives.
