AREAS OF PRACTICE > FAMILY LAW, DIVORCE, PROPERTY, CUSTODY & MAINTENANCE, FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS
Our Family Lawyers Department is one of the oldest, largest and most respected in Melbourne. We handle small matters through to many of the biggest and most complex disputes in the Family Court and the Federal Magistrates Court.
Our Family Lawyers can provide expert advice in matters that include:-
- Property - including businesses, companies and trust structures
- Children - residency, contact and child support
- Spousal Maintenance
- Divorce
- Child Support
- Financial Agreements (pre-nuptial agreements)
- De Facto and Domestic Relationships
- Cohabitation Agreements and Binding Financial Agreements
This is one of the most difficult areas of legal practice both for the lawyer and the client. You are not only dealing with children, property and money but people's feelings and emotions. It is usually the biggest commercial transaction the parties will ever be involved in. The parties to a broken marriage or relationship often feel lonely, exposed and vulnerable.
There are three major firms practising in family law and we are one of them. We have junior through to very experienced lawyers and are therefore able to allocate cases to the appropriate level as well as accommodate the client's financial position on costs. We undertake much of our own appearance work which helps keep costs down.
We are experienced, supportive and straightforward with our advice.
Family and de facto law areas are regularly referred to us by the large legal commercial firms. We work closely with the counsellors on residence/contact cases and with property valuers, accountants, and investigators who are able to both value business interests and track down assets.
