This instrument fixed the date when Phase 2 ended, marking the completion of the staged implementation of mandatory pre-court mediation.\n- **Who is affected:** Parents separating or disputing parenting arrangements who need court orders regarding their children.\n\nThis was a technical, administrative instrument that brought the full compulsory mediation requirements into effect."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/family-law-part-vii-order-application-phase-2-date-proclamation-2008","history":"/api/acts/family-law-part-vii-order-application-phase-2-date-proclamation-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/family-law-part-vii-order-application-phase-2-date-proclamation-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/family-law-part-vii-order-application-phase-2-date-proclamation-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/family-law-part-vii-order-application-phase-2-date-proclamation-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/family-law-part-vii-order-application-phase-2-date-proclamation-2008/documents"}}
