Property settlements & children's matters
Property
Couples going through a divorce or separation will generally need to divide their assets and finalise their financial relations, known as a property settlement. A property settlement can be done immediately following separation up until either 12 months after a Divorce Order is made or 24 months after the end of the relationship for De Facto couples.
We efficiently and cost effectively make negotiated property settlements, including the splitting of superannuation, into legally binding documents every day.
We routinely act for our clients to negotiate out of court settlements with their former partners about property and assets.
When required, we commence and defend legal proceedings to get a fair outcome with no-nonsense.
Children’s matters
We act in all children’s legal matters, including child custody, adult child maintenance, adoption, child support, child abduction, domestic violence and international legal matters involving children, such as adoption.
Intervention orders
If you are experiencing domestic violence, you can take steps to protect yourself and your family.
You can contact the police, you can apply to the Magistrates’ Court for a Family Violence Intervention Order (IVO). You can also engage a lawyer to help and represent you.
We can assist and represent you to file or respond to an IVO and with IVO negotiations.
Separation, child custody and divorce can also be painful and exhausting. You can expect us to listen to you, to give you direct access to your lawyer, and to show you compassion.
Family Court Lawyers
If no agreement can be negotiated on a family law issue such as parenting (child custody) arrangements or a property settlement, court procedures and legal proceedings may commence.
Because the family courts’ processes are complex, you may decide to engage a solicitor who practices only in Family Law, such as our Louie Elsoukmani.
