Episode 18: Immigration and separation in Australia

Around a third of Australia’s population was born overseas. Many married and de facto couples have at least one person from another country. If this is you, what happens if you separate in Australia? 

In this episode, we talk to experienced migration and family Lawyer from Starlight Legal, Eva Liang, about:

• how Australian Family Law recognises overseas marriages
• how to divorce when one party is overseas
• relocating children overseas in a separation
• spousal visas and their effect on separation
• cultural and linguistic barriers when dealing with the Family Court system
• understanding different cultural values,  best interests and family structures.
