What happens in Child Custody Mediation?!!Australia!!?
Q. Ive got mediation tomorrow with my lawyer and my sons father and lawyer. im freaking out. I had to get a dvo out against my sons father because of reasons, but i dont trust my ex at all, i wouldnt even trust him with my dog let alone our son. Our son is only a year old and ive never let my ex see him alone because he has threatened many times that he was going to take him interstate and never to bring him back. Its just a really emotional draining process.

A. Mediator will try to find a solution, but hthis has to be with agreement from you and your solicitor. Possibly you might ask that contact happens within a contact center or that there is a supervisor other than yourself present. If your not happy, then you can ask for a family court advisor to be appointed who will write a report for court. You need to show that has used contact to undermine you, that he shows no interest in your son or that he has failed to show any commitment, perhaps not paying child support or never sending a card at christmas or birthday. Unlikely that any judge would change residence, but it would be necessary to have sensible contact proposals.

A. You should try finding a good solicitor through legal aid, and also try contacting the Department of Fair Trading, who help with these types of situations. You have asked for anyone who may be able to help to contact you but you do not allow email.

Shared parenting arrangements in Australia.?
Q. Please excuse the long question but there is much to share. My ex and I have 1 child together now 5, we broke up when he was 2 (un-married). Immediately after the break up (upon me returning home) I found our belongings removed from our house and our child 'else where' during the next two weeks I received messages and phone calls saying "your child misses you, come and see US" which I did not comply to as he wanted to see me 1st. After these agonizing 2 weeks and under advice from my lawyer I convinced him to allow me to spend some time with our son after which I didn't return him. During the next few months we went to mediation and came up with a workable (not likable) arrangement in which I complied to but after a few months he did not, [cont.]

A. there's nothing you can do about i unless you file for full custody or move all together. one day a week isn't that bad. try talking to your ex about how he is hurting your son. and talk to your son about it too. there's not much else you can do.

A. Surely if you have had mediation as well as advise from the police to stop cotact between your child and her father due to the harrassment etc you would be able to have that all docomented in your favour. Unfortunitly there are too many people that use these allergations to prevent the other parent from seeing the child resulting in making it more difficult for a person who really needs help to keep their child safe. All parents need to remember that at the end of the day its not his right to see his child nor is it your right to prevent the child from seeing him, at the end of the day its the childs right to know both its parents, and i am sure you are aware that is all the family courts care about is the rights of the child.

Q. My ex husband pays his support, but refuses to maintain contact with the kids. I put alot of energy into trying to get him involved and after 7 years, have finally given up.

He has been abusive to our kids, to the point where they began to refuse to go to him. They are 11 and 13. His girlfriend has told my kids she hates them. For the whole time, the kids have maintained a relationship with my ex in-laws through me.

A. Your children are old enough to voice their opinion whether they want to go or be with their father. Talk to them and tell them that it is up to them what goes on from now on. If they want to be visit the grand parents then let them, and let the grand parents know what the kids want and don't want. If their father wants to have visitation then ask the courts to have supervised visitation so they are not abused any more. If you must contact a lawyer.

As an atheist, would the judge accept my not swearing on the bible? (family law)?
