Abstract

Revolutionary changes have occurred in the family law arena during the last ten years. There has been an increased focus on the rights and needs of children1 and on the responsibilities and duties of parenthood. Both parents are now expected to be emotionally and financially supportive of their children after separation. Parents are more accountable for the way in which they behave towards each other and their children. This was ensured by the introduction of domestic violence legislation and the subsequent recognition of the effects of family violence on children and families.
