Do the same as allforher stated when speaking with the court appointed family reporter. Remember ' what's in the best interest of the child', including equally realising the importance of the mother in the child's life as their father.

Congratulations again. As I mentioned, don't worry going up against a barrister, if you have done your homework and think of the child as not a 'possession' but a person with rights which is solely what the Judge considers hence in the best interest of the child/ren. Not the adults' needs and wants. The family report writer will be the same. You proudly did well for yourself.

Don't worry about barristers. In some states when you get admitted as a solicitor, you become a barrister as well! Remember it's in the best interests of the child. When in court don't be petty, but that only comes through if you're like that in life.

Before a solicitor can become a barrister, they must apply and pass tests, so to speak, as well as be accepted by the peak body.

There is a difference between a solicitor and a barrister. One of the main is that you can not go straight to a barrister. One must go to a solicitor and recommends a barrister is required or a person requests they have a barrister argue their case then this is their right.
