Family Law

Sensitive, practical guidance through family law matters, with a focus on clarity and resolution.

Breaking up is hard to do.

Going through a separation is one of the most stressful events in peoples’ lives. We specialise in commercial and practical outcomes when relationships break down. We try to remove the emotion from the situation as much as possible, as it is easy to get drawn into costly court proceedings for little or no benefit to either side. We bring a cool, experienced head to a difficult situation, negotiating a settlement that is amenable to our clients.

We can assist you with all your family law needs, including:
  • Financial Agreements including pre and post nuptial agreements
  • Separation
  • Custody
  • Property Disputes
  • Child Support & Residency
  • Spouse Maintenance
  • Same Sex Relationships
  • Property - including businesses, companies and trust structures
  • Divorce
  • De Facto Relationships
  • Binding Financial Agreements
