Family Law

We can give you comprehensive advice about your legal rights, entitlements and obligations, and the different options available to settle any matters you and your partner may disagree on.

Recent changes to family law have placed a particular focus on joint parental responsibility for separating couples who have children. The decisions of the Family Court of Australia have also had a significant impact on family law in the areas of property claims and settlements.

We can help you with negotiations and, if necessary, court proceedings on such family law issues as:

• Divorce
• Parenting orders – who your children will live with and spend time with
• Property claims and settlement for married couples
• Spousal and child maintenance
• Child support
• Child abduction within Australia and overseas
• Property and separation issues for defacto and same sex couples
• Intervention orders
• Financial and pre-nuptial agreements
