The Australian Attorney-General’s Department has released a new resource for use by families, legal professionals, practitioners, services and clients who have an interest in the family law system.

Family Law TermFinder is a plain language translation tool of the most common terminology used in family law and can be found online at http://lawtermfinder.mq.edu.au.

Information provided by Family Law TermFinder is also being translated into several languages.  It is anticipated that translations into Mandarin, Cantonese and Arabic will be available by the middle of 2013.

The Family Law TermFinder is a great resource but it is a source of information only and it is not a substitute for legal advice.  If you require family law legal advice, contact Claire Naidu & Co, Lawyers and Mediators.  Our contact details are available by clicking here.
