Family Law

Family Law deals with particular family matters, for example, separation, divorce, children and property settlements. These items are individual to each relationship, and are covered by the Family Law Act 1975.

If your intention is to separate, you should get advice first so you know where you stand regarding paying the mortgage, joint bank accounts and supporting your children.

You may also need advice on filing for divorce and the implications plus the correct procedures that will make this sometimes traumatic step easier to deal with.

De Facto relationships are covered under the Family Court Act 1997 and may be complex and obtaining legal advice will answer your questions about entitlements and property settlements.
