Frequently Asked Questions

It can be helpful to obtain legal advice as early as possible following separation. A family lawyer can explain your rights and responsibilities and advise you about parenting arrangements, property, finances and other issues that may need to be addressed.

You are not required to have a lawyer to apply for a divorce. However, legal advice can help you understand the divorce process and any separate issues involving property, finances or children that may also need to be resolved.

There is no automatic formula for dividing property after separation. The circumstances of the relationship, assets and liabilities, contributions and other relevant factors may need to be considered. We can provide advice based on your individual circumstances.

Parenting arrangements should focus on the needs and best interests of the children. Depending on the circumstances, parents may reach an agreement themselves or formalise arrangements through a parenting plan or consent orders. Where agreement cannot be reached, further legal processes may be required.

Not every family law matter needs to go to court. Many matters can be resolved through negotiation, agreement or dispute-resolution processes. We can advise you about the options available and the most appropriate approach for your circumstances.

 

What happens to the family home will depend on the circumstances of the property settlement. It may be retained by one party, sold or dealt with as part of a broader agreement regarding the division of property and other assets.

 

De facto relationships can give rise to property and financial rights following separation. Whether particular family law provisions apply will depend on the circumstances of the relationship, so obtaining advice about your individual situation is important.
