What is Family Violence? Jacqueline Brown : My Family Law

Family violence is defined as violent, threatening or other behaviour that coerces or controls another family member or causes them to be fearful. Some examples of behaviour that constitutes family violence are:



  • An assault.

  • A sexual assault or other sexually abusive behaviour.

  • Stalking.

  • Repeated derogatory taunts.

  • Intentionally damaging property.

  • Unreasonably controlling or denying a family member access to finances or financial support.

  • Depriving a family member of their liberty.

A child may be exposed to family violence if they see or hear family violence or experience the effect of family violence. Some examples of a situation that a child may be exposed to family violence are:

  • Overhearing threats or violence from one family member to another family member.

  • Seeing or hearing an assault by one family member on another family member.

  • Being present when police or ambulance officers attend to a family member who has been assaulted by another family member.

The SSAT in Relation to a Child Support Assessment: Simon Creek : My Family Law

Be Aware of the Tribunal’s Decision Making Powers : In the recent decision of Child Support Registrar v Ahern and Anor [2014] FamCAFC 105) the – Full Court of the Family Court of Australia  made clear the range of powers available to the Social Security Appeals Tribunal (SSAT) when considering child support matters.

This is an important case for all people thinking about objecting to a child support assessment that may ultimately come before the SSAT in the form of an Application for Review. The background of the case is as follows:


  • In 2010, Mr Ahern objected to a child support assessment for the period May 1st – July 29th and lodged a departure application with the Registrar;

  • Mr Ahern was unhappy with the Registrar’s reconsideration of the matter, and appropriately lodged an Application for Review with the SSAT – this Application appropriately referred to the original decision relating to the period 1 May 2010 – 29 July 2010;

  • The SSAT set aside the Registrar’s decision for the period related to 1 May – 29 July 2010, but also made a decision in relation to a much longer second period (being 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2013);

  • This second period was not the subject of Mr Ahern’s application for review.

This decision is a salient reminder of the principles of administrative review of a decision on the merits by a Commonwealth Tribunal.  It is important to remember that the SSAT is empowered to hold a new hearing (called a hearing de novo) and will make a decision on the merits of your case.  In so doing, the Tribunal stands in the shoes of the original decision maker, and is empowered to make any decision that the original decision was empowered to make regardless of the ambit of your Application for Review.

FAMILY LAW – APPEAL – AMENDED NOTICE OF APPEAL – PROPERTY SETTLEMENT – CONTRIBUTIONS where the trial judge made final property settlement orders between the appellant husband and the respondent wife reflecting a division of 47.5 per cent and 52.5 per cent respectively – where the trial judge found that the respective contributions of the parties were equal – where the appellant husband submitted that that finding was unreasonable and manifestly unjust to him and the exercise of discretion miscarried – where the appellant husband made greater direct financial contributions, including via a late inheritance, than the respondent wife, and the respondent wife made greater homemaker and parent contributions than the appellant husband – where the appellant husband submitted that the contribution findings in other cases with some similar factual circumstances demonstrate that the result in this case is plainly wrong – where it was claimed that in finding equality the trial judge took into account an irrelevant consideration and accorded too much weight to the care provided by the respondent wife to the now adult child of the parties who has Asperger’s Syndrome – where there is no basis for the overall assessment of contributions in one case to be decided in the same way as in other cases simply because there may be a broad similarity between the facts of those cases – no merit found in the claims that the trial judge took into account an irrelevant consideration and accorded too much weight to the care provided by the respondent wife to the child of the parties with Asperger’s Syndrome – where the Full Court found no error by the trial judge in his assessment of the contributions of the parties as being equal – where his Honour’s decision was not outside the range and plainly wrong such that it was no proper exercise of his judicial discretion – no merit in these grounds of appeal – appeal dismissed.

FAMILY LAW – APPEAL – AMENDED NOTICE OF APPEAL – PROPERTY SETTLEMENT – ADEQUACY OF REASONS where the appellant husband submitted that there was a lack of reasons in a number of areas including in relation to the overall assessment of contributions by the trial judge – where the reasons by the trial judge are adequate in explaining why he concluded that the respective contributions of the parties should be treated as being equal – no merit in these grounds of appeal – appeal dismissed.

FAMILY LAW – APPEAL – NOTICE OF APPEAL – COSTS where the appeal was wholly unsuccessful – where the appellant husband did not oppose an order for costs if the appeal was unsuccessful – costs order made in favour of the respondent wife.

Feathers for Whanau Ora: Some thoughts on family violence and community well-being  (a new paper by Vivian Hutchinson)


This paper by the great NZ community builder, Vivian Hutchison is based on workshop notes for a session on Whanau Ora and Community Well-Being held at the Taranaki District Health Board in July 2014. The paper reflects on family violence and the critical role that citizens, families, neighbours and friends play in creating community well-being. It includes a personal view on the history and philosophy of the government programme Whanau Ora, and it considers the limits of institutional change, and what we are missing out on when we do not effectively engage our communities in the solutions we are looking for.
