We take pride in not only being approachable but also reachable, maintaining communication with our clients. We value all our clients and work relentlessly to achieve excellent results.

A family lawyer advises you on your rights and obligations after a relationship breakdown. This includes parenting arrangements, property settlement, spousal maintenance and divorce. We prepare and negotiate agreements, draft court documents and represent you in court if your matter can’t be resolved.
Not always. Many matters are resolved through negotiation between lawyers and formalised as consent orders approved by the court. If agreement can’t be reached, we can represent you in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and guide you through each step.
Property is generally divided based on what is just and equitable. This takes into account the assets and liabilities of the relationship, each party’s financial and non-financial contributions, and future needs such as age, health and care of children. A lawyer can assess your situation and explain a realistic outcome.
Parents can agree on arrangements themselves, and we can help formalise them. If you can’t agree, a court decides based on the best interests of the child, with the child’s safety being the priority.
Yes. After a divorce is granted, you generally have 12 months to apply for property orders. For de facto couples, the limit is generally two years from separation. Late applications may require the court’s permission, so get advice early.
You may be eligible if you can’t adequately support yourself and your former partner has the capacity to contribute. The court considers factors such as age, health, income, care responsibilities and earning capacity. We can assess your eligibility and the amount that may be appropriate.
As early as possible. Early advice helps you protect your assets, plan parenting arrangements and avoid mistakes that are hard to undo. You don’t need to be ready to start court proceedings to book an appointment.
You can book online or contact our team directly. We’ll discuss your situation and explain your options and next steps.
