This session will examine some of
the scenarios and complexities that arise for transgender, non-binary and
intersex people in family law matters. This includes the uncertainty around
parental status of those seeking to be parents where one of the parties is
transgender, non-binary or intersex (and what they can be called), as well as
challenges in parenting cases where one parent undergoes a gender transition
and the other party expresses resistance or non-acceptance. The court's
approach to medical treatment for transgender teenagers and surgical
interventions for intersex children after birth will also be examined,
alongside proposed changes in the ACT aimed at addressing such scenarios. Presenter
Stephen Page will further consider the issues arising for family lawyers as to
how to conduct such matters and address all parties, ensuring professional
conduct and preventing any form of discrimination or professional conduct
complaints. This session was recorded during the Specialist Accreditation Conference 2023. DISTRESSING CONTENT Viewers are
