Property Settlements
Following separation, it’s important to finalise financial matters early. We help negotiate and draft legally binding Consent Orders to divide assets like homes, vehicles, superannuation, businesses and trusts. Consent Orders are approved by the Family Court and avoid the need for drawn-out court proceedings. If agreement can’t be reached, we can represent you in court.
Parenting Arrangements
We assist with Parenting Plans (informal) and Consent Orders (legally binding), outlining where children live, time spent with each parent, communication arrangements, and more. If parties can’t agree, we guide you through mediation and, if required, represent you in court proceedings for parenting orders, including recovery and contravention matters.
Divorce
To apply for divorce in Australia, you must be separated for at least 12 months. Whether you apply jointly or alone, we can assist with paperwork, service, and court appearances when required. We also help with special circumstances, such as separation under one roof or when a spouse cannot be located.
Child Support
We provide advice on your entitlements and obligations under the child support system and can help draft Binding Child Support Agreements which can include school fees, health costs and other expenses. These agreements require both parties to have independent legal advice and can offer more flexibility than a standard child support assessment.
