DIVORCE & SEPARATION

Divorce and Separation in Australia can be a stressful time. If you are married, you will need to seek a divorce order from the Federal Circuit of Australia before you can legally re-marry. The divorce order effectively dissolves your marriage and you will no linger be recognised as spouses. Check out this page for more information...

PARENTING DISPUTES

Following separation, you may become concerned about whether your ex-partner will take the children overseas and never return. In some instances, ex-partners relocate the children out of Australia and you will need to consider a Hague Convention Application. Check out this page for more information...

PROPERTY SETTLEMENTS

PROPERTY SETTLEMENTS

Soon after you separate from your spouse or de facto partner, you should consider how you will divide your property fairly. The property settlement process requires full and frank financial disclosure to be exchanged between both parties to enable a just and equitable settlement.

SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE

SPOUSAL

MAINTENANCE

If you have been financially dependent on your partner throughout the relationship and separation has left you financially strained, you may be entitled to spousal maintenance. It is important to seek legal advice before making such a claim to ensure you meet the two-limbed test. Check out this page for more information...

CONTRAVENTION APPLICATIONS

CONTRAVENTION APPLICATIONS

If you or your ex-partner have failed to comply with Orders made by the Family Court or Federal Circuit Court of Australia, a Contravention Application may be required.

PARENTING ORDERS

While separation can be difficult for yourself and your partner, it is just as difficult for the children of the relationship. Children have a right to benefit from a meaningful relationship with both parents, and also be protected from a risk of harm. Parenting Orders must reflect this.

INJUNCTIONS

INJUNCTIONS

If an interim or final decision has been made in your family law matter, and you feel there has been an error of law or miscarriage of justice, you may consider appealing the decision to a higher court. There are time limits in which to file an appeal so it is best to seek immediate legal advice. Check out this page for more information...
