WARNING: YOU COULD FACE IMPRISONMENT OR A $2k FINE.

FLAST REVIEW :
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.
