Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to go to family court to finalise my divorce or settlement?
Not necessarily. Many matters are resolved via negotiation or mediation. However, we’re prepared to represent you in family court if the matter can’t be resolved privately.
How does a family law lawyer help with parenting arrangements?
We’ll help you negotiate a parenting plan, formalise agreements, and advocate for your child’s best interests — inside or outside the family court system.
How are assets divided after separation?
Your family law lawyer will help you assess contributions, debts, and future needs to reach a fair and legally sound outcome.
What if my ex-partner refuses to cooperate?
We’ll explore all available pathways, including initiating family court proceedings if it becomes necessary to protect your rights and ensure compliance.
