dc.description.notesOutlines the rationale, methodology, results and implications of a qualitative research project conducted in Brisbane, Queensland. The study examined the practical impact, both perceived and actual, of the new Part VII of the Family Law Act 1975, in particular, provisions relating to the authority of resident parents and provisions designed to increase the visibility of family violence matters in custody disputes. Analyses the way in which the new laws were being interpreted and applied by actors within the legal process and how this impacted on the negotiation and adjudication of custody, contact and other arrangements. Found that in cases where violence was an issue, the non resident parent was in a more favourable position than previously and that in general cases the legislative changes tended to place more power in the hands of the non resident parent without imposing any additional responsibilities. Argues that while a complexity of factors operated to influence the bargaining position of either party and the willingness to settle out of court, the new provisions do tend to be balanced against women, particularly those escaping violent relationships.en
