Our Difference
Parenting Disputes & Arrangements
Property & Financial Settlements
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.
Divorce
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.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Wills & Powers of Attorney
We understand the legal nuances of Family Law, especially regarding its implications for Wills & Estates. Separation does not automatically invalidate Wills or Powers of Attorney, potentially leading to unintended consequences regarding asset distribution, management of finances, or healthcare decisions should you pass away or become incapacitated. 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.
