Sometimes parenting disputes are made even more difficult by the presence of complex issues which affect children.

Our team of Bayside family lawyers has experience dealing with a range of complex issues, including:

• Allegations of family violence and/or child abuse

• Allegations of sexual abuse

• Allegations of substance abuse

• Mental health difficulties suffered by parents and/or children

• Allegations of parental alienation

The presence of complex issues may require specific interventions, such as the appointment of an Independent Children’s Lawyer (ICL), intervention orders, psychiatric/psychological assessments, mental health monitoring, drug and/or alcohol testing and/or injunctive relief.
