Family Law

Personal, practical support through separation, parenting and property matters.

Family law support

Family law disputes can be emotionally and financially demanding. The focus is on clear advice, efficient progress and practical pathways to resolution wherever possible.

Not every matter needs to be resolved by a court. Depending on the circumstances, negotiation, mediation and other dispute resolution processes may save time, cost and stress.

  • Divorce and separation
  • Parenting arrangements and parenting orders
  • Child support issues
  • Property settlement and spousal maintenance
  • Domestic and family violence related issues

Common starting points

  • Understanding immediate priorities after separation
  • Clarifying arrangements for children
  • Identifying assets, liabilities and financial disclosure issues
  • Working out whether negotiations, mediation or court steps are needed

Divorce

Australian divorce law is no-fault. A divorce application generally relies on a period of separation and the court being satisfied of the relevant requirements.

Parenting matters

Parenting issues often involve decisions about living arrangements, time spent with each parent and major long-term issues such as education and health.

Property settlement

Property matters may be resolved by agreement or, if necessary, through formal court processes. Timing issues can be important, particularly after divorce.
