How our divorce lawyers can help
Property Settlement
A property settlement, also known as a financial separation is the formal legal separation of the financial assets of a couple.
Parenting (Child Custody)
When two parents separate, it can dramatically impact a child’s life and the best interests of the child are considered in child custody.
Mediation
Mediation is compulsory in family law matters and often required in property settlement matters.
Financial Agreements
Binding financial agreements are complex family law documents that essentially override the Family Law Act.
Divorce Applications
Divorce applications can be made 12 months after separation. They can be made by one party or jointly.
Court Representation
You don’t necessarily need a divorce lawyer at each court event, however, in most cases, it is a good idea.
Consent Orders
To formalise parenting or financial arrangments parties will usually enter into a consent order.
Domestic Violence Orders
You can apply privately for a domestic violence order or with the help of a domestic violence lawyer.
Child Recovery Order
Child recovery orders can be made by the Family Law Court whether or not existing court orders are in place regarding custody.
Prenuptial Agreements
There are many pros and cons of prenuptial agreements, and they can be costly if not done right.
Paternity (DNA) Testing
Failure to obtain a DNA test can result in someone paying child support when they are not the biological father of the child.
De Facto Relationships
When determining property division, the same principles that are applied to marriages are also applied to de facto relationships.
