Obtaining a divorce is a separate process to dividing your property and sorting your financial arrangements.

We can assist you to apply for a divorce if there are complicated circumstances, for example if you continued living together with your former spouse under the same roof after separation or you cannot locate your former spouse.

Divorce

Family separation and divorce are stressful events.

Obtaining a divorce is a separate process to dividing your property and sorting your financial arrangements.

We can assist you to apply for a divorce if there are complicated circumstances, for example if you continued living together with your former spouse under the same roof after separation or you cannot locate your former spouse.

Time limitations apply in relation to applying for a divorce and seeking a property division or maintenance. It is important that you seek legal advice in relation to these time limitations as early as possible to ensure that your interests are protected.

From your very first conference with us you will know where you stand, what your options are and what to expect.

That is why your first 30-minute consultation with us is FREE.

Your first consultation

At your first appointment we will listen to your instructions and provide our legal advice on your rights, entitlements and options for settlement.
You will leave your appointment with a thorough understanding of your options, your costs and what to expect from us.

From then on and throughout our work with you, we will communicate with you regularly.
We will address your questions and concerns promptly, with sound advice and understanding.
We’ll be your voice in troubled times.

If you have received a letter from another lawyer or been served Court documents, you should provide them to us in advance so we can prepare for our appointment with you.
If you are seeing us about property or financial matters, it helps to have a list of your assets, liabilities and superannuation.
If you are seeing us about parenting or grandparenting matters, it helps us to know the names and dates of birth of your children and what their current living arrangements are.
If there are urgent circumstances, for example you suspect your ex-partner will abscond with your children or is taking steps to sell or transfer assets, you should let us know so we can commence acting immediately.
