Family law is a complex area that requires experience and compassion to navigate this stressful time. As expert family lawyers in Melbourne based in Berwick and St Kilda, we offer legal advice and support to clients based on our extensive knowledge of the complexities of family law. Get the confidence and peace of mind that comes from having a skilled and experienced lawyer advocating for you.
Divorce
We achieve divorce in just eight weeks after the mandatory separation period in most cases, and our top priority is to achieve an efficient and fair outcome for you. Even if your spouse does not agree to the divorce, we can help you dissolve your marriage and secure your assets – separation can be under one roof in some cases.
Property
There is no hard and fast rule about how property must be split, so you need the expertise of a highly experienced property lawyer to ensure you receive what you deserve. We have successfully settled hundreds of cases out of court, saving our clients unnecessary stress and expense from their case being needlessly dragged out.
We will prepare the best case possible for your unique needs and work hard to achieve an amicable resolution and the best outcome for you. In most cases, agreement is reached with a Consent Order of the Court or a Binding Financial Agreement.
If an amicable resolution is not possible, we will then present your case to the court based on:
- The financial contributions you made to the marriage or de-facto relationship
- The non-financial contributions you made to the marriage or de-facto relationship
- Your future needs (e.g. earning capacity, health) and the needs of any dependents.
Agreements
We can negotiate and draw up the following agreements:
- Consent Orders of Court
- Binding Financial Agreements
- Prenuptial Agreements
Children
There is nothing more important than the safety and well-being of your children. We will resolutely negotiate on your behalf, with the view to reaching a settlement. If a satisfactory parenting order can be agreed upon, it can be incorporated into Consent Orders of the court. If not, then court action will be taken to ensure your children have the best outcome possible.
We can assist you with:
- Consent orders of the court
- Parenting disputes
- Relocation and child abduction issues
- Binding Child Support Agreements
- Parenting Agreements
