Our Family Law Services
Divorce Applications
If your marriage has irretrievably broken down, we can guide you through the divorce process from start to finish. We prepare and lodge divorce applications, ensure all legal requirements are met, and provide advice on how divorce may affect property settlements, parenting matters, and future financial arrangements.
Property Settlements
Separating couples often need to divide assets, liabilities, superannuation, and financial resources fairly. We assist clients in negotiating and formalising property settlements through consent orders or binding agreements. Where an agreement cannot be reached, we provide experienced representation in Court proceedings.
Parenting Arrangements
The best interests of the child remain the primary consideration in all parenting matters. We assist parents in negotiating practical parenting arrangements and parenting plans while striving to minimise conflict and promote positive outcomes for children.
Binding Financial Agreements
Binding Financial Agreements (commonly known as pre-nuptial or post-separation agreements) allow couples to determine how assets and financial matters will be managed if the relationship ends.
