Catherine, welcome onto the Australian Finance Podcast today.
Thank you. Very lucky to be here today. It's lovely to chat with you.
And it's wonderful to have you here to continue on our conversation in the family law space, talking about divorce and separation and all of the stuff involved, because this is a hard thing to find information on, especially online. It's hard to know where to look and it can be really expensive to go and see a lawyer just to ask a couple of questions. So it's great to have you with us today to share some of these resources and just higher level information. So if people do speak to one of these experts or use the tools online, at least they have a starting point to know what to look for and what kind of questions to ask.
Wonderful. Thank you. I think it's great because obviously it does really dispel those misconceptions that people have on family law and all aspects of family law. So thank you.
Yeah. And I think sometimes we have the perception that lawyers can be a bit scary. So it's good to chat to some and to go, hey, not too scary. And they're actually really friendly people.
No, I'd like to think we all are. So yeah, I hope so.
And because we haven't spoken to too many lawyers and you're a barrister as well on the podcast, I'd love to know a little bit more about what you do in your role, just so we have a little bit of background here before we jump into the conversation.
No, that's great. So I've been primarily working in the area of family law now for just over 15 years, which has been great. And two years ago, three years ago, I moved in with the Legal Services Commission. And my position there is that I'm the family lawyer on the project team with Amica, which is an online dispute resolution tool, which Gabrielle may have Gabrielle talked about earlier. And really the tool helps separating couples make arrangements for children and property and generate documents, agreements and orders to really cover those arrangements between parties.
Absolutely. And I should mention that this is a continuation of part one of this conversation. So if you haven't gone back and listened to our previous episode, please listen to that first because that will give you a good primer for today's conversation. Now, Kat, marriage is fairly clear.
