Our Difference
We are primarily a commercial law/commercial litigation firm and therefore we do not adopt commonplace or formulaic approaches to your Family Law matter, nor are we ‘beholden’ to the ‘family law clique’.
That said, our Commercial Law focus is complimented by experienced Family Law Practitioners.
More often than not, reaching mutually agreeable post-separation parenting arrangements can be challenging due to complex legal considerations and individual expectations.
While we are empathetic to the sensitive nature of your situation, our firm also provides objective and direct legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances.
Our services include providing preliminary advice, drafting parenting plans and consent orders, drafting and providing advice on child support agreements, representation at mediation and conciliation, and appearing in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
Following the irretrievable breakdown of a relationship, the just and equitable division of assets, liabilities, and superannuation entitlements becomes a crucial step in achieving finality.
In most matters, separated couples must reach a binding agreement, by way of Consent Orders or Financial Agreement, that formally documents and equitably distributes their assets and property.
Our experienced lawyers will collaborate with you to pursue a settlement that reflects your individual circumstances and respective legal entitlements.
An application for divorce may be filed independently of, or concurrently with, agreements regarding property division or parenting arrangements. However, the application itself may only be submitted after a minimum period of 12 months.
Our Family Law Team is well equipped to guide you through the process of initiating or responding to a divorce application.
Our team is dedicated to finding efficient and cost-effective solutions for your Family Law matter. This often involves considering alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, which can be employed at any stage of the proceedings, including as mandated by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia prior to a hearing. We are qualified to negotiate your best interests and provide you with comprehensive guidance throughout this process.
We encourage all our clients engaged in Family Law proceedings to update their Wills and Power of Attorney immediately after resolution, and provide them with all the services to do so.
When real estate transactions become necessary within a property settlement, our conveyancing team can assist with the purchase, sale or transfer of your matrimonial home, beach house, farm/country residence, investment property, or commercial building.
We have partnered with JustFund to provide a practical and compassionate solution for clients who need support navigating legal costs and expenses related to Family Law Matters - including mediation fees, court costs, accounting services, preparing a home for sale and more.
