Financial Arrangements & Property Settlement

Whether you are entering a relationship, separating, or finalising a divorce, we assist with financial agreements and property settlements to protect your interests. These arrangements clarify responsibilities, minimise disputes, and ensure assets and liabilities are divided fairly. We work closely with your accountant, financial planner, and other advisers to consider trusts, business interests, and financial structures, ensuring the best possible outcome for your circumstances.

 If an agreement cannot be reached, we will guide you through the court process to achieve a fair and legally enforceable resolution.

Spousal Maintenance

Spousal maintenance may be required when one party is unable to adequately support themselves following a relationship breakdown. We help you understand your rights, negotiate fair arrangements, and, where necessary, represent you in court.

Rights and Obligations in De Facto and Same-Sex Relationship Breakdowns

We provide guidance on the legal rights and responsibilities that apply in de facto and same-sex relationship breakdowns. Our team ensures you understand your entitlements regarding property, financial support, and other obligations, helping you navigate the unique aspects of these relationships.

Solicitor-Assisted Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Where possible, we help clients resolve disputes outside of court through mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Our solicitors can facilitate negotiations, assist in reaching agreements, and ensure outcomes are fair and legally sound.

Parenting Plans

Parenting arrangements can be one of the most sensitive aspects of a separation. We assist in negotiating and drafting parenting plans or consent orders that provide stability for children and clarity for both parents, ensuring arrangements are practical, workable, and child-focused.

Child Support Agreements

We assist clients in establishing private child support agreements that clearly outline financial responsibilities for the care and support of children. Our team helps you understand your rights and obligations, guides you through the negotiation process, and ensures that agreements are fair, practical, and legally sound.

Consent Orders

Consent orders provide legally binding agreements on matters such as property division, parenting arrangements, or financial support. We assist in drafting, reviewing, and lodging consent orders to ensure they are legally enforceable and reflect the agreements reached.

Divorce

We can assist you with the divorce process, managing the necessary documentation and guiding you through the formal steps to finalise your marriage efficiently and smoothly.

Court Proceedings

If your matter is already before the court, our experienced family lawyers may be able to assist you. Please reach out to discuss your situation and check the availability of one of our team members to provide support and representation.
