Your family legal questions, answered

  • What do I need to do before my initial consultation?

    We offer a Fixed Fee Initial Consultation with no time limit. This means you can talk to us for as long as you wish to, discuss your concerns, worries and uncertainties and we can provide you options and a strategy for resolution.

    To make the most of this, consider preparing questions and, for financial matters, bring lists of assets, liabilities, and any relevant documents. For maintenance and parenting cases, have income and expense details ready.

  • Can I represent myself instead of using a family lawyer?

    Yes. However, while self-presentation can save you money in the short term, it will often cost you in other ways.

    Coping mechanisms developed during the relationship, such as anger, avoidance, and defensiveness, may not serve you well in negotiations or court proceedings. These reactions could potentially harm your financial and child-related outcomes.

    Another challenge is acquiring the necessary legal knowledge to navigate the extensive legal rules, legislation, principles, and cases essential in determining your case.

  • Should I get a prenup?

    Regardless of your financial status, a Financial Agreement, often referred to as a prenup, offers a practical way to establish property arrangements in case of a relationship breakdown.

    These agreements safeguard assets acquired before the relationship or those expected, like inheritances, family gifts, or windfalls. By creating a Financial Agreement, you eliminate the uncertainty surrounding the financial aftermath of a separation. It’s always best to seek professional advice tailored to your situation. Reach out to us today to learn more.

  • How long does it take to get a divorce in Australia?

    Applying for a Divorce in Australia is the process of legally ending your marriage. It does not include the financial or parenting aspects of your marriage. The process from filing your Application for Divorce to the Court granting your Divorce Order can take between 4 to 6 months. Check out this blog for more information.

  • Are there any time limits for property settlements?

    Yes, strict time limits apply for property settlements in Australia. The Family Law Act outlines specific time limits:

    • Married couples have 12 months from the date of divorce to reach a just and equitable property settlement.
    • De facto couples have two years from the date of separation.

    For more detailed information, read our Guide to Property Settlement Time Limits.

  • Can I finalise my property settlement even though I am not divorced yet?

    Yes. You do not need to wait until you obtain your divorce order to begin or finalise the property settlement process. You can begin your negotiations and have the agreement recorded by court order any time after separation.

  • At what age can a child influence custody decisions in Australia?

    Contrary to popular belief, there isn’t a designated age, such as 12 or 14, at which a child can exercise this choice. The Family Law Act 1975 in Australia doesn’t stipulate a specific age at which a child can decide which parent they want to live with.

  • I’m separating with my partner – where should I begin?

    When separating from your partner, it’s crucial, first and foremost, to consider your parenting arrangement if you have children. Discuss any changes you must make to their daily routines and living arrangements with your children objectively and non-judgmentally.

    You’ll need to assess your financial status as a single individual or parent rather than part of a couple, as managing two separate households can be challenging. Next, you’ll need to agree on the division of your assets. Delaying this process can be detrimental, so seeking legal advice early on is best. Even in amicable separations, maintaining a diary of key events during this period is advisable so you have evidence of events if your situation turns sour.
