We advise clients on pre-nuptial agreements, reconstruction of assets and property transfers at appropriate stages of their relationship. We are experienced in acting in divorce and family law proceedings and also advise clients as to their rights arising from de facto relationships. Over the years there have been a number of changes to the family law system with further changes currently being considered this year. It is well recognised that most changes to family law have resulted in further complications causing clients to seek further advice from lawyers.
Irrespective of the proposed changes, family law breaks down into a number of specific categories:
- Separation
- Counselling and Disputes Resolution
- Divorce/Dissolution of Marriage
- Care of Children also known as Equal Shared Parental Responsibility
- Custody
- Access
- Residence
- Maintenance
- Child Support and Spousal Maintenance
- Parenting Orders
- Property Settlements
- Domestic Violence
- Financial Agreements (before/during/after)
- Married couples including pre-nuptial agreements.
- De Facto couples including co-habitation, domestic relationship agreements and termination agreements
- De Facto Relationships (including same sex relationships)
The majority of matters currently come before the Federal Magistrates Court or the Family Court, which can make orders covering: care of children, child maintenance, financial support, property settlements, parenting plans, restraint (AVOs), parenting orders re parental responsibility (contact, educational/medical, residence), spousal maintenance etc.
Irrespective of the nature of our client’s problems in this area, we offer a sympathetic approach and are able to bring matters to a satisfactory conclusion. We also provide service in same sex de facto relationship matters.
