FAQ’S

Do I need a lawyer for family law matters?

While it is possible to resolve some matters without a lawyer, obtaining legal advice early helps you understand your rights, obligations, and options. This can prevent costly mistakes and avoid agreements that may not be in your best interests.

How is property divided after separation?

Property settlements are not automatically split 50/50. The Court considers factors such as financial and non-financial contributions, future needs, and the overall fairness of the outcome.

What is the difference between divorce and separation?

Separation occurs when a relationship breaks down. Divorce is a formal legal process that ends a marriage and can only occur after you have been separated for at least 12 months.

How are parenting arrangements decided?

The primary consideration is the best interests of the child. This includes their safety, wellbeing, and maintaining meaningful relationships where appropriate.

Is family law only for married couples?

No. Family law also applies to de facto relationships, including same-sex couples, when certain criteria are met.
