Practical Help With Parenting & Property

Sorting out parenting and property matters isn’t about ‘winning’—it’s about finding workable paths forward that support everyone involved. That might mean creating a care schedule, sorting school holidays or working out how assets and debts will be split.


We help parents reach parenting arrangements through mediation where possible, and prepare court documents when needed. For property, we assist with documenting agreements, understanding what’s fair and advising on how to protect your financial future. If court becomes necessary, we’ll help you prepare and present your case with clarity and purpose.


We know this can be an emotional time. Our job is to give you the legal structure you need to make informed decisions—without adding unnecessary stress.

Honest Advice For Life's Tough Decisions

Family law isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every family is different, and what’s right for one situation might not be right for another. We take the time to understand your goals and talk you through your rights, responsibilities and possible next steps.


Whether you’re separating on good terms or things are more complex, you’ll be supported with information, not pressure. We help with binding financial agreements, parenting consent orders, court applications, child support and advice around relocation or safety concerns.


There’s no pressure to make big decisions straight away. We’ll explain what your options are and give you time to think—because making the right decision is more important than rushing the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does a family lawyer do in Australia?

    A family lawyer helps people deal with legal issues related to divorce, parenting, child support, property settlement, financial agreements, adoption and more. They provide advice, prepare legal documents, and represent clients in negotiations or court if needed.


    Family lawyers help people understand their rights and responsibilities under Australian law and guide them toward legal outcomes that are fair, practical and appropriate to their situation.

  • Do I need a lawyer for a parenting agreement?

    While it’s not legally required, having a lawyer review or draft a parenting agreement can prevent future confusion or disputes. A parenting agreement outlines how children will be cared for, including living arrangements, time with each parent, holidays and decision-making responsibilities.


    Lawyers help ensure the agreement is clear, practical and enforceable if necessary. They can also help turn it into a formal consent order through the court if both parties agree.

  • How is property divided after separation in Australia?

    Property is divided based on what’s “just and equitable,” not simply 50/50. The court (or lawyers negotiating on your behalf) will consider the length of the relationship, financial and non-financial contributions, future needs (like income, health or care of children), and other relevant factors.


    It’s a detailed process, and even informal agreements should be formalised to protect both parties. Getting legal advice early helps ensure you understand your rights and can plan your next steps.

  • Can I get a divorce without going to court?

    Yes. In Australia, you can apply for divorce online through the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. If it’s a joint application and there are no children under 18, you usually won’t need to attend a court hearing. If children are involved, at least one person may need to appear.


    A lawyer can help prepare your application, make sure all documents are in order and advise on what to expect—especially if other legal matters are linked to the divorce.
