It can involve many parties including children, parents, practitioners, the Department of Families, Fairness & Housing, and Independent Children’s lawyers. Further complications can arise when there are concurrent family law proceedings on foot, and family lawyers should have a sound understanding of the Children’s Court, and its practice and procedures.
