Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law
You're not just another case. We’re here to listen, guide, and help you move forward with confidence.
What should I consider when filing for divorce?
Before filing for divorce, you must be separated for 12 months, and at least one party must consider the marriage has irretrievably broken down. The court requires further information where there are children under 18 years of age.
How are Parenting Arrangements decided?
Parenting arrangements are based on the child’s best interests. The court considers factors such as safety, wellbeing, and the importance of having a relationship with both parents. Every case is different, and we are here to help you find a child-focused solution.
What is involved in property
settlements?
Property settlements involve dividing assets and debts after separation. The process considers financial and non-financial contributions, future needs, and what is fair in your circumstances. We help negotiate a practical and legal outcome.
Can I vary Parenting Orders?
Parenting Orders can be modified if both parents agree. If parents cannot agree, they may need to apply to the court. The orders aim to serve the children's best interests, which may evolve over time. Navigating the legal complexities of Parenting Orders can be challenging. We are here to help you understand your options and guide you through the process.
What are the costs associated with family law services?
Costs vary based on your matter's complexity and whether it is resolved through agreement or by the court. We provide transparent pricing and discuss fees upfront. Fixed-fee options may be available for some services. We also collaborate with JustFund for financing options to help with family law costs.

A Smarter, Flexible Way to Fund Your Family Law Matter
We understand that when you’re navigating a separation or relationship property matter, the financial strain can sometimes stand in the way of getting the legal support you need. That’s why we’ve partnered with JustFund - Australia’s only dedicated provider of flexible funding solutions for family law legal fees.
Through this partnership, eligible clients can access a flexible line of credit to cover legal fees and expenses related to separation or relationship property proceedings. You don't have to repay the loan until you reach a settlement, which we hope reduces the stress associated with paying costs upfront.
