Family

We understand that Family law can be a sensitive and sometimes stressful area. Our Family law team are dedicated to making sure we take the time to fully understand your situation and communicate the most appropriate and effective solutions for you and your family.

Often people come to us for advice when something has gone wrong. We are here to provide support and help you through this time by providing compassionate, practical and professional advice.

Our team of family law solicitors have extensive experience negotiating out of court settlements along with regularly appearing in the Family Court.

Our Family law specialists offer a full range of family law services and advocacy, including:

• Care of Children and Guardianship;

The welfare of children is of paramount importance during separation. We can provide support when dealing with any disputes when making decisions on issues such as relocation of children, visitation, where children attend school, whether children can travel overseas and other substantive care issues.

• Relationship Property;

If you are married or in a de facto relationship and your relationship comes to an end then you will be subject to entitlement rules under the Property (Relationships) Act 1976. We can advise you on your rights under the Act and how to achieve a fair property settlement.

We can also provide advice and prepare an agreement to identify and protect your separate property at the beginning of a relationship which will protect that property from a claim if your relationship comes to an end.

• Adoption;
• Separation;
• Domestic Violence and Protection Orders;
• Advice as to where to access Parenting Through Separation and Family Dispute Resolution service.
