Court procedure in child-related matters
Section 69ZN, FLA sets out the principles to be exercised by the court or a registrar of the court when conducting child-related proceedings. Both the court and the parties are to be child focused during the progress of the litigation, considering the needs of the child/children and the impact of the conduct of the proceedings on the child/children. This requires the court to treat the best interests of the child as the paramount consideration in deciding children’s issues.
