The Malacca Bar Committee organized a talk entitled “Family Law for Beginners: Divorce, Annulment, Child Custody, Maintenance & Access” from 3.00 pm – 5.00 pm at the Malacca Bar Auditorium.
36 participants (20 pupils-in-chambers, 12 members and 4 non-members) signed up for the talk.
Mr. Shanker Sundaram shared on the definition of marriage and divorce and the difference between a dissolution and an annulment of a marriage. Mr. Shanker also explained the rights of parties involved in a divorce petition and shared his experience in handling family law cases in court in order for the participants to have a better understanding on the procedure in court and what should be expected in such cases.
Our Chairlady, Ms. Amber Foo, presented the token of appreciation to Mr. Shanker. The Committee hopes that members would have a better understanding on family law matters and that it would be beneficial to their practice in future.
