Chapel Hill, NC – Chapel Hill Family Law Attorney D. Melissa Averett, a Certified NC Family Law Specialist and founder of Averett Family Law, will be presenting a session on Tort Claims in Family Law at the Melbourne, Australia, 2024 Family Law Conference scheduled for September 27-29 in Hoi An, Vietnam.

“I am thrilled to have been asked to speak again at the 2024 Melbourne Family Law Conference,” says Averett. “International family law is a fascinating field. Having the opportunity to collaborate with other family law attorneys from around the world is a learning experience for everyone who attends. I am able to bring back what I learn and immediately put it into practice to benefit my international clients.” The conference includes professional development sessions and networking events. Attendees will also have time to explore Hoi An’s ancient town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In addition to speaking and attending conferences across the United States, Averett has participated in international family law conferences in Malta, Ireland, Vietnam, and Australia. Averett was recently included in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for her practice in Family Law and inducted into Who’s Who in America.
