SUNNY SIDE UP: When we recently asked our Director Principal Aimee Maud what her three highlights were in July, here’s what she had to say: “My first highlight was being nominated for the 'Thought Leader of the Year' category in the Women in Law Awards for 2024. Another highlight was returning from my big trip feeling inspired and motivated to keep challenging ourselves, and to keep innovating to enhance our client service. Finally, seeing Annalise take some much needed time off with her family after holding down the fort for me was fantastic as well!” To get to know Aimee and the Romer Maud Family Lawyers team, find their bios here: https://romermaud.com.au/ #RomerMaud #FamilyLaw

Such an important conversation for us all to be having!
“Coercive control is essentially the umbrella dynamic that contains most of what we know as family violence. Family violence is much weirder than we've thought; the perpetration of it is very strange. I remember when I was putting together The Perpetrator's Handbook – which was the first chapter of my book – and looking at the sorts of behaviours, we're talking about something that is much less akin to an incident of assault as we've often thought about domestic violence, and much closer to the experience of being in a cult. Or being a cult leader, if you're perpetrating that abuse. The whole process of family and domestic violence is not just about consequential incidents – like, it happened on Wednesday and it happened again on the following Friday. It's an unrelenting system that never switches off. The good times are just as big a part of it as the bad times…if you have good times. We’re talking about things like isolation, manipulation, gaslighting, surveillance. Creating an atmosphere of omnipotence; such that the victim-survivor never feels like they have any private space to have their own perspective. If they have children, it’s having their parenting constantly undermined, being coerced into much more disciplinary tactics than they would like to use against their children, or having those relationships completely undermined and disrupted. The big part is the process of thought reform – and that's why I compare it to being in a cult. Coercive control is used in cults. It's used in hostage situations. It's used in sex trafficking. It's used in some prisoner-of-war situations. The point is, the person using the coercive control is using a whole suite of behaviours – that could be coming out of them quite instinctively, or coming out quite tactically – to change the behavior of the person they're subjecting it to. They change their thought patterns, they foster self-blame – which is what will often keep women there longer. If it's not the fear, it's the feeling they don't deserve to be safe, because the abuse is their fault. This process of thought reform means that leaving is a very long process. For those supporting the people leaving, be it colleagues, friends, family – it can be very frustrating. You can feel like you‘ve said the same thing 20, 30, 40 times…to the point where you just don't feel like you can say it anymore.” - Jess Hill, journalist, author, speaker and writer of 'See What You Made Me Do' Read more on how authentic DV support in the workplace can change the course of someone's life: https://lnkd.in/gCeRDhH5 #ChangeTheCourse #BetterTwogether #DomesticViolence

FAQ: A property settlement is critical to the success of moving through a separation. Here's why: once financially separated, a property settlement protects you from your ex-partner making claims against new assets you may obtain further down the track. Finalising a property settlement within a year of separation is also important.

IN THE NEWS: The release of 'It Ends With Us' - a film based on the best-selling Colleen Hoover novel - has brought with it concerns over its handling of the central theme of domestic violence. The book itself gained criticism for walking a fine line between romance and abuse, despite being very clearly ‘not a romance’. Yet with key changes to the plot and promotional material, it appears that the film is seeking to rectify these issues and depict the story for what it truly is.
