Ben and Heather have their eighth session answering questions from the Coffs Coast community - and there were some good ones this time. Here are the topics covered:

1. Can I get divorced in Australia if I married in another country?
2. When does a de facto relationship (same-sex or heterosexual) begin from a legal perspective?
3. Does the Family Court ever award costs to one partner if the other is being unreasonable?
4. How will an expected inheritance be treated in the property settlement?
5. Can my ex-partner prevent me from finding a good family lawyer by lawyer-shopping?
6. Can I get financing for a family law court case?
7. What happens when you can't agree on schooling for the kids?
8. How can you prevent your ex from showing up at the family home unannounced?
