The first step when dealing with family matters is to listen to your story. Our initial interview with you typically will allow our lawyers to try to “walk in your shoes”. They will seek to understand your particular family problem before deciding with you the possible short and long term options. Sometimes rushing into adversarial Court proceedings may not achieve your goals or address your underlying interests.
Unfortunately for some people they have no option but to make applications to Court because there is a complete lack of cooperation from the other party. If you are in this position we seek to support you through what can be a gruelling legal process. Being a consumer of the family court system may make you feel powerless especially if you have recently come out of a dysfunctional unhealthy relationship. Our family lawyers want to support you not only through the legal process but support you as our clients so that your experience working with them is a positive one.
We aim to build trust with our clients especially in matters where children are involved.
Our family lawyers are able to assist you in the following family matters:
- Adoption
- Custody/Access/Day-to-Day care and contact
- Domestic Violence
- Parenting Orders
- Protection Orders
- Divorce / Dissolution of Marriage
- Relationship Property Agreements
