Three Key Areas We Specialise In

Divorce
In Australia, the courts rely on the the ‘no-fault’ principle, meaning that the reason for the breakdown of marriage is not taken into consideration. In order to be allowed to divorce, it must be established that there has been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. This requires that the couple have been separated for at least (12) twelves months and (1) one day. As part of the divorce, there is the question of property settlement and spousal maintenance, proceedings for this claims must be commenced within one year of the divorce.
Children
We are able to advise you in a broad range of children’s matters. These matters include, but are not limited to child support, child protection and child custody. It is our strong recommendation that if you are concerned about any of these matters, that you get in touch with us immediately.
De Facto Relationships
A de facto relationship is one which does not require marriage, yet will be considered to be a legal entity for the purpose of family law. There is a list key elements which need to be considered, a few of which include, the length of the relationship, nature and extent of residence, and whether a sexual relationship exists.
