dc.description.notesSpecial issue title 'Out of the fire: domestic violence and homelessness'<br/ >Also published as DVIRC Newsletter Autumn Edition, February 2001<br/ >Examines the impact of recent amendments to Part VII of the Family Law Act, with specific emphasis on those provisions relating to the child’s right to contact with both parents and those relating to utilising primary dispute resolution methods as an alternative to litigation. Argues that both provisions have serious flaws when applied in practice, particularly where there has been a history of domestic violence or abuse perpetrated by the non-resident parent. Suggests there has been an increase in the number of unsafe consent and parenting orders and that cuts to legal aid funding have exacerbated the situation, by making it difficult for women to contest such orders. Contends that the source of the problem lies in prejudicial attitudes towards women’s issues and advocates for immediate government action to address the dilemma.en
