We aim to make Family Law as accessible as possible.

Not to Spoil the Ending for you,
 but everything is going to be OK!

Our Services

Parenting

We can help you make arrangements to see your children, whether it is through negotiation, Family Dispute Resolution or court representation.

Property Settlements

We guide you through your property matter whether your separation has been amicable … or not so amicable.

Wills , Powers of Attorney & Guardianship

Did you know that separation in itself is not sufficient to protect your assets from your ex partner or ensure they are not appointed as an executor to manage your estate?

Drafting Agreements

Oftentimes parties have reached a property or parenting agreement themselves through direct negotiation, a service such as Amica or through a mediation or Family Dispute Resolution service.

Divorce

Divorce is a separate application from your property settlement and parenting matters.

Child Support

Child support is dealt with independently of parenting arrangements, property settlements and divorce applications.

Independent Children’s Lawyers

Our office has qualified Independent Children’s Lawyers who are often appointed by the Federal Circuit & Family Court of Australia to represent children.

Unbundled Legal Services

You may not qualify for Legal Aid yet feel as though you cannot afford the ongoing cost of a lawyer.

Legal Aid

When we have capacity, we accept legal aid matters whether it be property or parenting matters.
