Recently, there are news reports that, Gold Coast receives nearly 100 cases a week of family violence charges.
This astonishing number has inspired the law to call on the federal government to set up a family court in the zone.
It is understood that the Gold Coast still does not have its own family court, which means that all family violence-related cases in the area have to be brought to Brisbane for trial.
This delayed the trial of the case for about five weeks.
Michael, head of Gatenby lawer, told the Gold Coast briefing that setting up a special family court in the area could help plaintiff and defendant ease their hatred.
"if you can improve this delay in filing and reduce the need for people to experience the violence of these families, the feelings of mutual hatred among family members are likely to be alleviated.
Moreover, family court administration of guardianship may also reduce family violence, as more and more people can use it as a weapon to protect themselves. "
Between 2018 and 2019, 2398 family cases were appealed to the Queensland District Court, according to the Queensland District Court.
This is 105 more than in the same period last year. These include domestic violence litigation cases, domestic and family violence litigation cases and strangulation cases.
Data also show that between July 2006 and February 2018, the number of violence deaths in gold coast-related households was as high as 41. This figure accounts for 14% of all deaths in Australia.
The Golden Coast law Association estimates that nearly 30 percent of the cases filed in Brisbane are related to family violence.
The mayor of the Gold Coast region, Tom Tate, said the local government had already marked the establishment of a family court, and that the proposal had long been submitted to the two-tier government department.
As one of the most popular tourist resorts, the Gold Coast also has a number of projects and institutions to help people eliminate the impact of family violence.
For example: prevent Family violence Center Gold Coast Limited and Family violence Assessment Assistance Center.
The Golden Coast law Association also sent a letter to the Federal government urging the Federal government to establish a family law in the Gold Coast as soon as possible.
The longer the time goes on, the greater the damage.
"the litigants have been waiting for years to decide, while parents` custody has been limited, or all or part of the funds have been frozen," the letter said.
Mayor Tom said: "it is incredible that a city with more than half a million people does not have a relevant family court."
"the city now has a population of six hundred and fifty thousand, and it is not a small town. The growth of the population has made the city more and more in need of family courts and high courts. " The mayor added.
