WARNING: YOU COULD FACE IMPRISONMENT OR A $2k FINE.
Any person found to have contravened section 121 of the Family Law Act may be prosecuted and face fines of up to $2,000 or even imprisonment.
It is important to be aware that publishing information about your family law matter online, including on your "private" social media account, may be a breach of section 121 of the Family Law Act and can carry serious consequences.
It is important to think carefully before you post any information online and remember that once something has been posted, it is almost impossible to undo.
