Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) introduced the concept 'no fault divorce' whereby irretrievable breakdown of marriage is a valid reason for divorce despite previous years where there were 14 grounds of divorce highlighted on the Matrimonal Causes Act (find out the year and what jurisdiction)

Family Law Reform Act - deals with shared parental responsibility and things concern children

You can also mention the effectiveness of ADVOs in portecting family members against family violence. Mention the gov's funding for family, legal aid centres etc- u can find heaps of articles on this and it's pretty recent.
