One of the most underestimated parts of separation are— settlement offers. Whether you're negotiating parenting arrangements, property division, or both, knowing how and when to make (or respond to) an offer can save you stress, time, and serious money. We break down how settlement offers work, when to consider using Calderbank letters, how Section 117C of the Family Law Act affects legal costs, and the emotional traps that can trip you up during negotiation. We also talk about avoiding lowball traps, the risks of ignoring offers, and what to do if you're dealing with an avoidant or high-conflict ex.

The Family Law Act 1975 in Australia outlines how parental responsibility and support are handled. When a couple separates, it's essential for the parents to work together for the best interest of their child. Family lawyer Jesil Cajes explains the process. - Sa Australia, ang kustodiya at sustento para sa anak ay tinatalakay ng Family Law Act 1975. Kapag naghiwalay ang mag-asawa, ang mga magulang ay kailangang magtulungan upang matiyak ang kapakanan ng kanilang anak. Narito ang paliwanag ng Family lawyer na si Jesil Cajes.

In the years of 2021 and 2022 Divorce rates in Australia spiked as high as they had been since 1976. The year in which The Family Law Act was reformed to include “No Fault”, meaning spouses could for the first time opt that they just no longer got along, and it was a mutual decision at “no fault”, in turn that year, the divorce rates spiked to the highest in history… until the pandemic. 2 years after the pandemic and lockdowns, it only feels now like the relationships that were pushed to the edge, have either finally regrouped from the pressure and trauma of the unknown, or reset as rebuilt individuals than prior couples. But the fallout of it all begs the question of, how can a marriage survive the modern world? The pressures that come with the pace in which our society now runs, the cost of living crisis, the unavoidable content that gets consciously or unconsciously shoved down our throats by social media algorithms, or the access to endless sexual fantasies online, that remove you far from your own reality, and set an unhealthy and unrealistic tone for intimacy and connection with a long term committed partner. So when you come across a couple that have somehow managed to navigate their way through from being high school sweethearts to parents of teens, that still remain healthy partners to each other, it's like finding a rare glistening gem in the jungle, and you wonder how did they get there and how are they still sparkling? Bec met Rachael Seymour, Co-Founder of The Energy Studio that focuses on well-being practices such as Kundalini Yoga, Meditation, Sexual Energy and so much more and her husband Andrew Seymour, a Senior Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Partner at Physica, and it was intriguing to see a couple who view life with difference lenses, Rachael focusing on spirituality and Andy following the science he practices, whom are still so connected and even more impressively, respecting of each others differing views.  So we ask how have they grown together over grown a part? And how have they done it whilst staying true to who they are as individuals?   Rebecca Bull – Creator / Executive Producer / Co-Host Zoe Weir – Co-Creator / Co – Host Sophie Jackson – Producer  Social Media – Naughty Nancy Social Media Agency Website / Brand Design – Foster Creative Video Editor – Luke MorganSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
