Domestic violence victims say divorce law is retraumatising

From Morning Report, 7:13 am on 11 February 2020

Women who have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to abusive ex-husbands if they stay in their family home after a divorce say the law is retraumatising domestic violence victims.

They want the proposed changes to the laws for dividing property after divorce to consider family violence.

They say anything less sends the wrong message.
