FAMILY LAW
Family law deals with particular family matters like divorce, your children and your property. Most family law issues in Australia are covered by the Family Law Act. If you are married or in a de facto relationship, the Family Law Act will cover any disagreements you might have about your children and/or property.
When families separate, arrangements for the kids are sometimes decided between the parents alone and sometimes with the help of a Judge or Federal Magistrate at the family law courts. When parents can't agree, the main thing the Judge or Federal Magistrate will think about before making a decision is what’s best for the kids. It can be really confusing for kids when families break up. You might be feeling many different emotions and don't understand why.
We specialise in Family Law and we've plenty of experience in this area of the law to assist you.
Many of our clients are referred to us by other clients who have been extremely satisfied with the service they have received. Over the years we have received many kind comments and expressions of gratitude.
We understand the importance of ensuring that clients receive not only expert advice on their rights and obligations, but also guidance during what can be a difficult period for them and their children. We are committed to the prompt and effecient resolution of family law disputes.
Our aim is to provide all our clients with the highest quality legal advice and give you the personal attention that each case deserves.
There are alternatives to Court that sometimes can be very effective in resolving separation issues. In fact, a competent Family Lawyer will discuss all of these options with you long before ever recommending court as a dispute resolution method. The important thing is to identify the one that suits your situation best.
We recognise that being a family lawyer means much more than just giving legal advice. The breakdown of a relatioship or marriage can be one of the most stressful and traumatic times in a person's life, and we always promote outcomes that focus on the best interests of the children.
Many clients come to us, having reached an "in principle" agreement with their spouse or partner. We specialise in drafting Family Court Orders and Agreements, to give certainty and finality to your matter, in the most effective way.
