Relationship property/Family Law

We specialise in all areas of the law relating to separation, children, relationship property, child and spousal maintenance and claims against estates.

We have extensive experience in all aspects of family and relationship law and will provide a confidential, sensitive and professional approach to your relationship issues.

We provide advice on:

Relationship Property

  • Relationship property agreements (matrimonial and de facto agreements)

  • Pre-marital (or pre-nuptial) agreements

  • Co-habitation contracts

  • Family trusts

  • Matrimonial litigation

  • Injunctions to prevent removal of assets overseas

Children

  • Day to day care arrangements

  • Representation of children

  • Adoption

  • Guardianship

  • Action under the Children & Young Persons and their Families Act

  • Child abduction


Maintenance

  • Child Support Act

  • Spousal maintenance


Estate Claims

  • Family protection cases
  • Testamentary promises claims

  • Disputes over wills


Domestic Violence

  • Applications to the family court

  • Setting aside orders


The best solutions are usually amicable ones. We have the knowledge and experience to achieve results through mediation - a less costly, less formal and often less stressful procedure than court proceedings. However, where court action is more appropriate, we will fearlessly represent your interests.
