Case Assessment Conferences

A Case Assessment Conference is usually held at the Family Court. It involves the parties and their lawyers (if any) meeting with a Family Consultant assigned to the case. The Family Consultant that is assigned to your case will be the same person from when you have the Case Assessment Conference, right up until the court makes final orders to end your case.

The purpose of a Case Assessment Conference is to identify what the issues are in your particular case, to help the court find an appropriate way to respond to your situation and come up with a case management plan that will hopefully give the best possible outcomes for your children. It can also be another opportunity to negotiate with the other parent about sorting out arrangements for your children.

For a detailed explanation on Case Assessment Conferences see this link to the Family Court of WA website.
