Where possible we settle matters by agreement, which is usually faster and less costly than going to court, and we will represent you in court if it comes to that. After your free discovery call, you will know where you legally stand and the options open to you. Meet our family lawyers.
PROPERTY DIVISION
If you have any property to divide in your family law matter including a family home, investment properties, superannuation, cash or any other assets, you will need to do a property settlement.
PARENTING & CUSTODY
Nothing is more important than your children and how they are going to be raised and spend their time after separation or divorce. We help you get the time you and your children deserve.
FINAL DOCUMENTS
When you separate it is very important that you legally protect your assets and children by having the right legal documentation drafted by a family lawyer.
DIVORCE
We assist our clients through separation, right through to the finalisation of their divorce. This may include family law advice, negotiations, mediation, drafting documents or Family Court proceedings.
