For a woman, it is very difficult to deal with harassment, stalking and intimidation. Last year, I have applied for APVO against my neighbour.
Although I had CCTV footages and other evidence, to actually go through the whole court process is stressful, especially because I decided to represent myself in the court. Once I stepped into the legal process the realization hit me that having evidence may not be enough to win and protect myself from the defendant. When you represent yourself, the defendant’s solicitor sees that as an easy winning for his client and uses intimidation tactics.
I have contacted several solicitors but was put off by their emotionlessness approach. I contacted Jonathan Jaramillo from James and Jaramillo Lawyers who offered free first consultation. Comprehensive information offered by Jonathan was very impressive. He listened attentively and took time to answer my questions. He did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. I decided to represent myself and asked Jonathan if he would guide me and advise me throughout the process. This would be more cost-effective for me. Regardless of the size of the case, Jonathan was from the beginning to the end extremely professional, prompt and kind. He explained everything clearly making me feel confident with the legal process.
I have managed to get Interim Order in the early stage of the process-mention, which was protecting me till the final hearing in March 2024 when I won the case. This outcome could not have been achieved without working with Jonathan and his professional guidance. I can’t speak highly enough about Jonathan Jaramillo and recommend him for anyone who is looking for a good, responsive and reliable solicitor, and a genuine person.

No, you certainly do not have to attend Court to have your property matters resolved. Before considering litigation, it is important for the parties to have discussions and negotiate to see if the matter can be resolved. If you are able to reach agreement your lawyer can prepare an Application for Consent Orders. This document is filed with the Court and, once approved, comes into effect as a set of Court Orders as if a Judge had made them.
Alternatively, some parties prefer to have their lawyer prepare a Binding Financial Agreement. This is a contract, which is not filed with the Court but still contains the agreement. There are advantages and disadvantages to each option which you should discuss with your lawyer.
In most cases, spouses undergoing separation are not required to go to court to settle their property disputes. That being said, though, there are some instances in which going to court may be unavoidable, such as when:
1. One spouse refuses to sign a binding financial agreement
2. One spouse refuses to disclose all relevant information about their finances
3. The couple cannot agree on how to divide their property
If you find yourself in any of these situations, it’s essential to seek legal representation as soon as possible. The sooner you have a lawyer on your side, the better your chances of success.
The Following Are Some Examples Of The Types Of Assets That May Be Included In A Property Settlement:
Real Estate Property
– Any Investment Properties
– Vehicles
– Personal Belongings
– Business Interests
– Savings And Investments
– Superannuation
– Debts And Liabilities
As you can see, there is a lot to consider regarding property settlements. That’s why it’s essential to seek legal advice from our experienced team. We will work with you to ensure your rights and interests are protected throughout the process.
The time it takes to settle a property dispute depends on the specific circumstances of each case. If you and your spouse can agree without going to court, the process will likely be much shorter. However, if you have to go to court, the process will take longer.
The cost of a property settlement depends on several factors, such as the case’s complexity, the number of assets to be divided, and whether or not the case goes to court. In most cases, the cost will be between $5,000 and $15,000.
No, you do not have to be divorced to be in the process of financially separating from a domestic relationship. We recommend that you start separating your finances before you even file for divorce, as it can speed up the process and prove that your marriage is no longer viable.
If you and your spouse are unable to come to an agreement, or if there are urgent matters that need to be addressed, it may be necessary for you to have your matter dealt with by a Court. Even after proceedings are commenced it is very common for matters to settle. Should you require representation in Court however, we have a number of advocates who will prepare and present your case with care and skill.
Often, we are required to make detailed inquiries for our clients to ensure all of the relevant information is before the Court. We have developed strong relationships with the important stakeholders such as expert witnesses to ensure our client’s are able to get the best result.
If you are going through a financial property settlement you want to feel confident that you have a lawyer by your side who knows what they are doing.
