Take Control of Your Family Law Matter — With Skilled Legal Advice That Works

You don’t get a clean break when you share children.

You sign the divorce papers, the lawyers step back… and then you realise the hardest part is still ahead: co-parenting with someone you’re in constant conflict with.

In this video, I break down how to co-parent in high-conflict situations without burning yourself out or pulling your kids into the middle.
This isn’t about “fixing” your ex — because you can’t.
It’s about building systems that reduce conflict, protect your kids, and restore some calm to your life.

I cover practical, real-world strategies including:

- When to shift from co-parenting to parallel parenting
- How to communicate without feeding conflict (the BIFF method)
- Why less contact can actually mean more stability for children
- How to create parenting plans that stop chaos before it starts
- What communication channels work best in high-conflict dynamics
- Why “winning” arguments can cost you peace

How do Australian courts really decide parenting cases?

If you think it comes down to who is the “better parent” or whether parenting will be 50/50, you’re not alone.

But that’s not how the Family Court actually works.

- What the “best interests of the child” actually means in practice
- Why parenting cases are not about punishing parents
- The key factors judges look at when making parenting orders
- Common mistakes I see parents make in real cases
- How the court balances safety, stability, and meaningful relationships

I also share real-world insights from my experience as an Australian family lawyer, so you can understand what happens behind closed doors in parenting decisions.

After the Bondi Beach attack, Australia took one of the most serious legal steps available: launching a Royal Commission into antisemitism and social cohesion.

That doesn’t happen lightly.

In this video, I break down why the government reached for a Royal Commission, what it actually has the power to do, and what this inquiry will be looking at.

- What a Royal Commission is and why it’s different from other inquiries
- Why the Bondi Beach attack became a national tipping point
- What “antisemitism and social cohesion” mean in legal terms
- Whether these kinds of tragedies can realistically be prevented
- What outcomes usually come from Royal Commissions

In this episode, we sit down with Toni Whitaker, an experienced succession and estate lawyer, to uncover one of the most misunderstood areas of law: what really happens when someone passes away without a will or an appointed executor.

Toni explains how poor estate planning can create stress, legal battles, and unexpected costs for families. She shares why appointing an executor is critical, what can happen under intestacy laws, and how adult children may still have statutory rights even if they’re not included in a will.

We also cover the importance of enduring powers of attorney, how caring for a parent and financial need can affect inheritance disputes, and real stories of estates thrown into chaos due to missing or poorly drafted documents. Toni also clears up common misconceptions, like why giving someone $1 to avoid claims doesn’t work, and how courts decide what is fair when distributing an estate.

Why estate planning matters:
✅ Reduce stress for loved ones
✅ Avoid unnecessary litigation
✅ Protect vulnerable family members
✅ Ensure your wishes are carried out

Whether you have children, a spouse, a blended family, or a business, this episode is essential listening.
