How our family lawyers can help
Every separation is different. We can help you understand your options, work through the issues that need to be resolved and represent you if your matter goes to court.
Parenting matters
We can help with arrangements about where children live, how much time they spend with each parent and how important decisions are made.
Property settlements
We advise on the division of property, savings, debts, businesses, superannuation and other financial interests after separation.
Contravention and enforcement
If court orders are not being followed, we can explain the available options and assist with enforcement or contravention proceedings.
Divorce proceedings
We can explain the requirements for divorce, prepare the application and help address any issues that may delay the process.
Financial agreements
We prepare and review binding financial agreements for couples who want to record how financial matters will be handled.
Spousal maintenance
We can advise whether financial support may be payable after separation and help with applications or responses.
Separation agreements
We can help document agreed parenting, property or financial arrangements clearly and correctly.
Know what the next stage is likely to cost
Family law costs depend on the issues involved, whether an agreement can be reached and whether court proceedings are required. We will explain the work needed for the next stage and the likely cost before we begin.
Fixed fees may be available for some services, including straightforward divorce applications or agreed documents.
Understand what an agreement means before you sign it
It can be tempting to agree quickly so the dispute is over. However, informal arrangements may not deal with every issue and may be difficult to enforce later.
A family lawyer can review the proposed terms and explain how they may affect you before anything is finalised.
What the agreement requires from you
Whether important property or debts have been included
How superannuation will be dealt with
Whether the parenting arrangements are practical
What happens if circumstances change
Whether the agreement can be enforced
Whether any time limits apply
