Family law services designed around resolution, not conflict.
FAMILY LAW SERVICES
001
Parenting Issues
Parenting arrangements affect every part of family life, from day-to-day care to how decisions are made for your children. We provide practical advice on parenting plans, consent orders, mediation, and round-table dispute resolution, as well as urgent applications to the court where safety or welfare concerns require it. Wherever possible, our focus stays on resolving matters directly between parents rather than through prolonged litigation.
002
Same-Sex Relationships
Same-sex couples have distinct legal needs at every stage of a relationship, from moving in together to separation. We assist with cohabitation agreements, binding financial agreements, consent orders, and arrangements relating to children and property, drawing on experience with same-sex families specifically. Every agreement is drafted to reflect your circumstances and to withstand challenge if it is ever tested.
003
Binding Financial Agreements
A properly drafted and properly explained binding financial agreement is a legally binding contract that can resolve property, spousal maintenance, and superannuation matters without a court appearance. This option is available to all couples, including same-sex couples, and can remove the need for consent order filing fees while qualifying for stamp duty exemptions in certain circumstances. We ensure every agreement meets the legal requirements needed for it to be enforceable.
004
Consent Orders
In some circumstances, consent orders are the more suitable path for formalising an agreement about property or parenting. We prepare consent orders that reflect exactly what you and your former partner have agreed, and manage every step required to make them legally enforceable through the court. This gives both parties certainty without the need for a contested hearing.
005
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements are no longer reserved for high-net-worth couples. More Australians, including same-sex couples, are choosing them to create certainty around assets before a marriage or de facto relationship begins. We draft agreements that are clear, properly explained, and built to withstand future challenges.
006
Parenting Plans
A parenting plan offers a flexible alternative to consent orders for parents who are able to agree on the day-to-day arrangements for their children. We draft plans that work for modern families and their changing circumstances, while avoiding the cost and time involved in court-based orders. Plans can always be revisited as your family’s needs change.
007
Relocation Matters
Relocating to another city, state, or country can affect an existing parenting plan or consent orders, and often calls for fresh legal advice before any move goes ahead. We guide parents through the legal considerations involved, helping you understand your options and obligations before you decide. These matters require careful handling, and we work to protect both your plans and your children’s best interests.
008
Binding Child Support Agreements
A binding child support agreement allows parents to set clear terms for ongoing costs such as school fees, medical and dental care, and extracurricular activities. Once in place, it removes ambiguity about who is responsible for which expenses as children grow. We draft agreements that are specific enough to prevent disputes down the track.
009
Divorce
Many clients tell us that self-managed divorce kits are harder to navigate than they expect. We manage the entire divorce application on your behalf, from preparing the paperwork to lodging it correctly, so you can focus on the next chapter rather than the process.
