Session Description

Parental Alienation in the Australian family law system

The Family Law Pathways Networks across Australia invite you to join a free webinar with leading family law expert, Zoe Rathus AM on the topic of ‘Parental Alienation in the Australian family law system: contradictions, collisions & consequences’.

This webinar will explore the concept of parental alienation in the Australian family law system, and particularly will look at the impact of tensions between:

  • the philosophy of shared post-separation parenting;
  • family and domestic violence;
  • protection of children from harm;
  • allegations of alienation of children from a parent; and
  • ways the idea of parental alienation can be misused.

Should you have any queries or require any further information please do not hesitate to email [email protected] or call (08) 6164 0380.
