Family Law

We have a focus on Family Law.

  • Children's matters;
  • Property settlement;
  • Superannuation splits;
  • Defacto relationship disputes; 
  • Applications for Divorce;
  • Personal Relationship Agreements (both prior to entering a new relationship, or after you have separated).

If you are contemplating a separation, we can provide you with sound advice as to the likely impact of that separation -
                                    Who will remain in the home? 
                                    What time will the children spend with each of their parents? 
                                    How will you manage financially? 
                                    What is your likely property settlement outcome?

If you have already separated, we can apply for and obtain divorces.

We can negotiate your property settlements and parenting arrangements.

If you are lucky enough to have reached an agreement, we can formalise that agreement into a legally binding Court Order or Financial Agreement to protect your rights and entitlements in the future. We can advise you as to the best legal option to protect your interests.

We can also prepare documentation to protect your assets if you are entering a new relationship.

If you and your partner are unable to agree, we can litigate your matters in the Family Court or Federal Magistrates Court. We can prepare and file urgent applications – such as recovery orders to have your children returned if they have been unlawfully retained, or orders to enable you to see your children if they are being withheld from you. We can also apply for urgent financial support or maintenance from your partner after you have separated.

We can protect your interests.

When we act for you, we do so with the utmost concern and care for you and your family.
