→Issues affecting transgendered, transsexual and bisexual
The ''[[Divorce Act]]'' no longer requires spouses to be of opposite genders to qualify for a divorce order. Oh happy day.
==Issues affecting transgendered, transsexual and bisexualpeople==
To be brutally frank, the jury is still out on how family law impacts on the trans community. Right now, the laws have slipped into a comfortable understanding of "the same or opposite genders" that only accommodates people on the spectrum in between with difficulty. While bisexuality is as close to a non-issue in this context as there can be, transgendered and transsexual people may well encounter difficulty dealing with family law matters. This discussion offers only a gloss on some of the issues affecting this community.
