Relationship breakdowns can be highly emotional and at times traumatic, even more so where children are involved. 

It is our goal to assist you to manage your separation as quickly and collaboratively as possible, minimizing undue stress, and achieving the best possible result for you and your family.

We can assist you with every aspect of your family law matter from separation to divorce, including  property settlement, spousal maintenance, parenting and child support. 

We are also able to assist in more involved matters including those involving significant asset pools, trusts, business interests, inheritances, relocation and other complex issues, as well as matters which involve family violence and abuse.

We offer the first consultation (15-minutes' duration) at no charge, with no obligation. 

In Australia, parties need to be separated for at least 12 months and 1 day to apply for divorce. 

 If you have been married for less than two years and wish to apply for divorce, there are further requirements with which you must comply. 

Whether your divorce is straight forward or complex, follows a long relationship or one under two years, we can assist you with every step of your application until it is finalised, whether the application be individual or joint.

Once you have obtained a divorce, there are time limits in place to commence property settlement. Any arrangements regarding the distribution of property, and any parenting issues, are dealt with separately to an Application for Divorce.

We offer the first consultation (15-minutes duration) at no charge, with no obligation. 

 If you are or have been a victim of domestic violence, we are able to assist you with applying for a Domestic Violence Order. We can take away some of the stress which comes with involving the Courts, and help you achieve the level of protection needed by working with you, and, where appropriate, appearing on your behalf at Court. If the Police have taken out an Order on your behalf, we can also provide ongoing support and advice throughout the process to keep you informed.

If you have recently been served, early involvement is critical, particularly where Police are involved. We can appear on your behalf at Court and guide you through each step of the process, ensuring you continue to understand all that is happening, while working to achieve the best result for you. 

PLEASE NOTE: 

Where you have concerns for your own immediate safety, or that of your children or family, you should contact the Police directly on 000 or go to your nearest Police Station.

Whether it be a Confidentiality Policy, AI Usage Policy, Terms & Conditions or a Contract for Services, we can help draft whichever documents you require for your business, club or institution. 

Using information specific to your particular needs, together with ensuring compliance with legislative and other requirements, we can work with you to create individual standalone documents, or a suite of documents, depending upon your requirements. 

Where there is an additional industry specific knowledge base required, we are also able to work together with subject matter experts to ensure all necessary areas are covered.

Before signing a contract, it is advisable to have a lawyer review it to identify any ambiguities, unfavourable  clauses, or any other areas of concern. Such review often also includes the addition of further clauses to protect you and minimise potential liability. 

Our contract review services will isolate and identify any potential risks to you, together with any other issues that may be relevant to your particular circumstances.

Not all documents that may require review are contracts; we can still help you. Our document reviewing services extend to internal business documents including but not limited to Terms & Conditions, Policies and Procedures, Constitutions, Rules and Articles of Association, together with other general commercial documents. 

We are also able to provide assistance with company requirements. 

Whether you have questions relating to a fencing dispute, tenancy issues, roaming dogs or any other general matter, we can help resolve your issues either personally or by referring you to another lawyer with expertise in the specific area you require.
