Abstract

The Family Law Act makes provision for the direct involvement of behavioural scientists in family breakdown situations, particularly in the area of custody disputes. This article describes the legislative scheme which is designed to facilitate that objective and, in addition, to evaluate the approach taken by the courts to the problems of interpretation which it has created. The article concludes with an analysis of that section of the act which enables a child, in appropriate circumstances, to be separately represented in custody matters.
