Get the best for your children!
Whether you’re starting from scratch or want to fine tune a current arrangement we can help. Formalising your agreement is often best for your children to provide stability and reduce the possibility of conflict between yourself and the other parent.
If you can’t reach an agreement then we can assist you with mediation. In the majority of circumstances it’s a legal requirement to attend mediation before going to court for parenting matters. This saves time money and the emotional stress of the parents and can avoid putting the whole family through the court system.
If your circumstances are urgent or you are concerned for the safety of your children, contact us today for a confidential discussion with our principal solicitor.
Property agreements can be entered into before a relationship begins, during the relationship, or after separation. Whatever your circumstances, it is important to know your entitlements so that you can take control of your future. We have a wealth of experience with property matters involving real property, businesses, trusts and superannuation.
No matter your circumstances, it is necessary to formalise an agreements through a court order or financial agreement. This safeguards your future so the other party can’t come back for more if they change their mind or if circumstances have changed.
Strict time frames apply to family law property matters in Australia so contact us today for urgent advice specific to your circumstances and needs.
In some relationships, one party may be the primary income earner while the other party is studying or at home caring for children. In these circumstances, when the parties separate one person may require ongoing financial support from the other while their family law matter is being resolved.
We are experienced in successfully making urgent applications to the court where one party is in need of immediate financial assistance. To obtain a court order for spousal maintenance, there are certain criteria that need to be satisfied. If you need financial support or if you are concerned about your liability to pay spousal maintenance, contact our office today.
As with property settlements, strict time limits apply, so don’t hesitate to call us for help.
Divorce is simply formalising the dissolution of your marriage. This is sometimes confused with a property settlement and clients come to us believing that you have to do both at the same time. This is actually not the case. You can obtain a divorce order before, during, or after you have completed a property settlement. A divorce application can be made 12 months after the date of separation.
Some divorces are not as straight forward as others, for example where parties remain separated under one roof. Contact us today for expert guidance.
