Real People
Family law matters are personal. You will deal with real people who take the time to understand your situation, explain your options clearly and help you make informed decisions about what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: Do I need to go to Court to resolve my family law matter?
Not necessarily. Many family law matters can be resolved through negotiation, mediation or agreement without going to Court. We will always look at the most practical and cost-effective way to resolve your matter.
Question 2: How is property divided after separation?
There is no automatic 50/50 split. Property settlements are determined by considering the assets and liabilities of the relationship, each party's contributions and their future needs.
Question 3: How are parenting arrangements decided after separation?
The focus is on arrangements that are in the best interests of the children. This can include where they live, how much time they spend with each parent and how important decisions are made.
Question 4: How soon should I speak with a family lawyer after separation?
It is usually best to obtain advice early. Understanding your rights, obligations and options from the outset can help you avoid unnecessary disputes and make better-informed decisions.
