Out-of-court settlements

Court proceedings can be daunting and costly. Where possible and aligned with our clients’ preferences, we look to resolve cases amicably out of court. This approach helps avoid prolonged legal conflicts, allowing both parties to move forward quicker.

We help people in all family stages

Married couples

Couples may encounter issues such as divorce, spousal support, separation, child support and child custody. We understand these challenges and offer expert advice and legal guidance to help our clients achieve a fair resolution.

Parents

The laws around child custody and support are not easy for the layperson to understand, which is where we step in to help our clients better understand their rights and responsibilities so they can make informed decisions.

De facto partners

De facto partners often have the same rights and responsibilities as married couples. When you need legal counsel, we manage issues such as child custody, property issues and child support on your behalf.

Young couples planning on marriage

We provide guidance on binding financial agreements for young couples who wish to establish clear agreements regarding financial assets before or during marriage. This minimises the risk of disputes if the relationship were to end.

Pre-nuptial and binding financial agreements
