Navigating family law
Separation is a difficult and emotional time for any person, even if the separation is amicable.
There are numerous issues to deal with, such as the care of children, the financial uncertainty, what to do and how to do it.
We can help you navigate the maze by providing you with advice on reaching an agreement about a property division and children’s issues at the early stages of your separation, or when you are considering a separation. You are welcome to bring a friend or a family member with you to support you.
Family law is not only about an appropriate outcome, but assisting you to navigate the emotional and stressful situations that arise during the process of finalising your family law matter.
Our experience
With over 20 years’ experience in family law, we can help you to navigate your family law matter with confidence, clarity and ensure that you are kept well informed during the various stages of the process to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
The first appointment provides you with the basics of family law, how it applies to your situation and how the process can assist you to achieve a satisfactory outcome. It is important that you obtain sound advice from the outset, as knowledge is the tool that helps you through a process that can be emotionally and financially draining.
Our philosophy is that court action is the last resort, not the first, but if circumstances warrant court action, we will advise you fully on the process and costs.
Even if you and your spouse have come to an amicable arrangement for your children and property, it is still important to obtain proper legal advice to formalise those arrangements.
