Exploring Family Law topics that affect Trans, Intersex and Non-Binary individuals – on-demand recording

1 CPD Unit  On-demand recording
.
Online
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.
