This document \"flicks the switch\" to make the family-law-related pension changes legally enforceable from 15 March 2013."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/judges-and-governors-general-legislation-amendment-family-law-proclamation-2013","history":"/api/acts/judges-and-governors-general-legislation-amendment-family-law-proclamation-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/judges-and-governors-general-legislation-amendment-family-law-proclamation-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/judges-and-governors-general-legislation-amendment-family-law-proclamation-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/judges-and-governors-general-legislation-amendment-family-law-proclamation-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/judges-and-governors-general-legislation-amendment-family-law-proclamation-2013/documents"}}
