Key Factors to Consider:
Our expertise in family and divorce law, comprehensive separation legal services, and unwavering commitment to protecting your interests make us Sydney’s trusted choice for separation legal representation. Don’t leave your future to chance – secure expert legal support today.
Under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), you must be separated for at least 12 months and 1 day before you can apply for divorce. Separation can occur even if you live under one roof, but you’ll need extra evidence (affidavits). Applications are filed in the FCFCOA.
Many separation matters can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or alternative dispute resolution methods without court proceedings. Our family law team will help you explore all options before considering litigation.
Property settlement considers contributions made during the relationship, future needs of both parties, and other relevant factors under the Family Law Act. Our experienced team ensures fair and equitable settlement outcomes.
Parenting arrangements should prioritise children’s best interests while maintaining meaningful relationships with both parents. We help create sustainable arrangements through negotiation or court orders when necessary.
Children have a right to a meaningful relationship with both parents where it’s safe, and the Court’s focus is always the child’s best interests, especially where family violence or safety risks are present. Our family law experts help protect your children’s rights and establish appropriate parenting arrangements.
Family lawyer costs vary based on complexity and services required. As an experienced divorce law firm, we provide transparent pricing after an initial consultation, ensuring you understand costs upfront for comprehensive legal representation across all legal issues related to your separation.
