Media Release: 17 May 2001 Translations launch in Fairfield: Law Week, 17 May 01 Translations in Arabic, Chinese, Spanish and Vietnamese, dealing with the most commonly asked Family Law questions, will be held on Thursday, 17 May 2001 as part of Law Week. Answers are provided to questions about divorce, child support payments and property settlement as well as issues such as child abduction. The legal rights of parents, children and grandparents under the Family Law Act are also explained. Chair of the Ethnic Communities Council, Salvatore Scevola will launch the translations in Fairfield Community Hall, 25 Barbara Street, Fairfield at 10.00am. "Family law affects many people and involves major emotional issues like who the children live with and who gets the family home," says Mr Scevola. "It can be very distressing and confusing, especially if you are dealing with a new culture, language and legal system. With our multicultural community growing and evolving constantly, there is a great need out there for translated materials. I am thrilled that Legal Aid is responding to that demand with this very valuable resource and I encourage all community workers to use it." Family Law—Frequently Asked Questions is also available on Legal Aid's website www.legalaid.nsw.gov.au in PDF format. Alternatively, you can request the printed version by accessing an order form online or calling 02 9219 5028.
