Our People
Report
It was always a privilege to act for people from all walks of life in respect to what was for many, the most difficult personal and financial time in their life. I've learned over the years that an advisor in divorce law must listen carefully as every client has different concerns, priorities and expectations.
Separation and Divorce
Report
Separation is a time of many changes and it is important to seek support if you need it. However, navigating the maze of services available to separated families can be difficult. For general information, Family Relationships Online is an Australian Government service designed to provide families with easy online access to information about family relationship issues.
Parenting and Paternity
Report
If parents reach an agreement in relation to parenting arrangements there are two ways the agreement can be formalised - by Court Orders made by consent or by entering into a Parenting Plan. When separating and considering future arrangements for your children it is important to understand that there is no automatic right for parents to spend an equal amount of time with their children.
Spousal Maintenance and Child Support
Report
Under the Family Law Act, a person has a responsibility to financially assist their spouse if the spouse's personal income or assets cannot meet their own reasonable expenses. The extent of this support will depend on the needs of the person seeking support and the other person's capacity to pay. There are two ways your child support payments can be decided, depending on when your child was born or when you separated.
Property and Financial Agreements BFA
Report
The Family Law Act allows parties to enter into an agreement in writing about their financial circumstances. The agreements can be made before marriage, during a marriage, after separation or even after divorce. Separated couples are often able to reach an agreement about how they wish to divide their assets.
