Frequently Asked Questions

Many family law matters are resolved through negotiation and agreement without going to court. We always aim to achieve practical solutions through discussion first. Court proceedings are typically used only when agreement cannot be reached or when urgent protection is needed.

The Family Court considers financial and non-financial contributions made by each party, as well as future needs factors like care of children, age, health, and earning capacity. “Fair” doesn’t always mean “equal” – it depends on your specific circumstances.

The Family Court considers financial and non-financial contributions made by each party, as well as future needs factors like care of children, age, health, and earning capacity. “Fair” doesn’t always mean “equal” – it depends on your specific circumstances.

You must be separated for at least 12 months before applying for divorce. Once you apply, the divorce order typically becomes final one month and one day after the court hearing. However, property settlements and parenting arrangements are separate matters that may take longer to resolve.

Important: You don’t need to wait 12 months to speak with us. We can provide valuable guidance from the moment you’re considering separation, helping you understand your rights and plan for the future.

We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear cost estimate based on your specific situation. Going through the family law process is expensive, but we always explain costs upfront before you commit.

Separation is when you and your partner decide to end your relationship and start living separately (which can be under the same roof). Divorce is the legal termination of your marriage, which can only happen after 12 months of separation. Property and parenting matters are handled separately from divorce.

Our family law team provides services throughout NSW and can appear in Family Court matters Australia-wide. With remote consultation capabilities, distance is no barrier to accessing expert family law advice.
