Personal, practical support through separation, parenting and property matters — including fixed-fee and unbundled options for working people.
Family law disputes can be emotionally and financially demanding. The focus is always on clear advice, efficient progress and practical pathways to resolution wherever possible.
Not every matter needs to be resolved through a court. Depending on the circumstances, negotiation, mediation and other dispute resolution processes may save time, cost and stress. Jacqui will give you a realistic picture of your options and the likely path ahead.
Family law matters covered include:
Jacqui's focus in recent years has been helping self-represented litigants by offering unbundled legal services and fixed-fee family law packages — making legal support genuinely accessible for working people who need assistance but cannot commit to full-service representation.
An initial appointment is the best way to understand which approach suits your matter.
Australian divorce law is no-fault. A divorce application generally requires a period of separation and the court being satisfied of the relevant requirements. Jacqui can explain the process and assist with the application.
Parenting issues often involve decisions about where children live, time spent with each parent and major long-term decisions such as education and health. Early advice helps identify priorities and realistic options.
Property matters may be resolved by agreement or through formal court processes if agreement cannot be reached. Timing issues can be important — there are time limits that apply after divorce is finalised.
Where parties have reached agreement, consent orders can make that agreement legally binding. This is often a more efficient and cost-effective outcome than contested proceedings.
Jacqui holds NSW Legal Aid panels for family law and the s102NA cross-examination scheme. She also appears at Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia registries around the country.
If you have questions about legal aid eligibility, this can be discussed at your initial appointment.
Family law matters often benefit from early legal advice, even if you are not yet sure what steps to take. An initial appointment can help clarify your position and options.
