How do I know if I need legal help?

If you find yourself in a legal jam, reaching out for some advice is a good idea. Signs that you might need our help with include being tangled up in legal disputes, dealing with family matters, considering estate planning or grappling with business issues. Just give us a call and we'll gladly sit down with you for a chat to figure out if you could use some legal support.
What is family law and what does it cover?

Family law deals with legal issues related to family relationships. It covers a wide range of matters, including divorce, custody, child support, spousal support, property division and domestic violence. Family law aims to resolve disputes to protect the rights and interests of all parties involved, especially children.
How is child custody determined in family law cases?

Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child. The Family Law Act 1975 requires courts to consider factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, the child's wishes (depending on their maturity and understanding), the parent's capacity to provide for the child's needs and any history of family violence.
How is property divided during a divorce?

The process involves identifying and valuing the couple’s assets and liabilities, assessing each spouse's financial and non-financial contributions and considering their future needs. The court then decides on a fair division, which may not necessarily be an equal 50/50 split but rather one that reflects the circumstances of the case.
