Where are family law matters heard for Liverpool?
Liverpool has no Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia location, so divorce, parenting and property cases from the area are usually heard at the Parramatta registry, 1-3 George Street. Liverpool Local Court deals with apprehended domestic violence orders, which are a separate state process.
What NSW-specific rules apply?
Divorce, parenting and property disputes in NSW are decided under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), and that includes de facto property claims because NSW referred those powers to the Commonwealth. Two related areas stay under state law: child protection cases go to the Children's Court of NSW, and apprehended domestic violence orders are made in the Local Court under the Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 (NSW). The Law Society of New South Wales runs the specialist accreditation scheme for family lawyers in the state.
