I recently worked with Sam Dzeladin‑Elez through my separation and divorce settlement, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. Sam was consistently approachable, understanding, and willing to listen to every concern I raised. He guided me through each stage of the process with clarity and patience. While legal matters are always a significant investment, Sam’s fees were clearly explained, transparent, and communicated openly throughout. I always felt informed and confident in the decisions being made. I highly recommend Sam to anyone needing reliable and compassionate legal representation.
Response from the owner:Paul, thank you for your thoughtful review. We're delighted Sam could provide the support, guidance and clarity you needed throughout your separation and divorce settlement. We appreciate your recommendation and wish you all the very best for the future.

Five stars! I highly recommend Pearson's Lawyers for anyone needing legal representation. Andrew McDonald has been absolutely excellent from day one. He looked after our matter with incredible expertise and experience, resolving everything in just one to two sittings. Andrew made a highly stressful process completely stress-free.

We couldn't expect anything better. Offering the best results at an affordable cost. Thank you, Andrew and the Pearson's team!

I had a really positive experience working with Venus. She was consistently prompt, efficient, and professional, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. What stood out most was her ability to provide practical, well-considered guidance. She demonstrated strong foresight and strategy, and worked very effectively with the other parties to keep things moving toward resolution. Venus also approached everything with a genuine customer-focused mindset. She was mindful of my time, effort, and cost, and was honest about what was and wasn’t worth pursuing - which I really appreciated. That level of transparency and care goes above and beyond. More broadly, I was very impressed with the firm. Their assessments were accurate, and the outcome aligned closely with what was anticipated, which speaks to their experience and capability. I’d confidently recommend Venus and Pearsons Lawyers to anyone needing family law support.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your generous review. We're delighted Venus could provide practical guidance, clear communication and strategic support throughout your matter. It's especially pleasing to hear that her transparent and client-focused approach made a positive difference for you. We appreciate your recommendation and your kind words about both Venus and our firm.

What family law matters can solicitors in Glenroy assist with?

Our Glenroy Family Lawyers provide expert advice and legal solutions across all family law issues, including property law, child custody and care, financial and property matters and property disputes. Offering quality representation, unwavering support and a responsive service to protect your legal rights and financial interests, our experienced family law team will be with you every step of the way during emotionally charged and challenging times.

How do I start the divorce process in Victoria?

To apply for a divorce order, one or both parties must file an application with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, via the Commonwealth Courts Portal. Our legal team can provide guidance on your initial consultation, explain the legal requirements and answer any questions you may have about financial and property matters, child custody and equitable resolution of your matter. Getting the right legal advice early protects your rights and the best interests of your loved ones.

What is involved in property settlement after separation?

Property law and financial interests can be complex after separation, and every situation is different. Our experienced family lawyers help married couples or de facto partners going through a relationship breakdown navigate matters such as family home division, business splits and superannuation matters. We provide guidance tailored to your unique situation, ensuring fair and equitable outcomes, protecting financial interests, and addressing related matters such as child support and spousal maintenance.

How are parenting arrangements and child support determined?

Parenting arrangements are decided based on the child’s best interests, considering factors such as each parent’s capacity to care for the child, the child’s relationship with both parents, their needs and any history of family violence.

Child support is calculated under the Child Support Agency formula, which considers both parents’ incomes, the time each parent spends with the child, and specific care costs. Our family law team helps you navigate these legal matters, negotiate agreements, and, if necessary, represent you in court to achieve fair, enforceable outcomes.

Can I resolve family law disputes without going to court?

Yes, and many people do exactly this. Our legal team can assist you with negotiations and offer alternative dispute resolution and mediation, helping parties reach equitable resolutions without litigation. We provide expert advice and guidance to protect your financial and property interests, legal rights and the wellbeing of loved ones. Our experienced family lawyers ensure the process is fair, emotionally supported and responsive to your unique situation.

What is a binding financial agreement, and do I need one?

A binding financial agreement addresses financial and property matters between married couples or de facto partners, and can be drafted before, during or after a relationship. Our family law team provides expert advice, explains your legal rights, and ensures the agreement offers an equitable resolution for both parties. With our legal support and guidance, your financial interests can be protected, giving you clarity and peace of mind.

How do de facto relationship laws affect property and financial matters?

De facto relationships are treated similarly to marriages in Australian family law. Our experienced Melbourne family lawyers assist with property disputes, division of financial and property matters, and protecting your legal rights after a de facto relationship ends. We provide expert advice, quality representation and responsive service to achieve fair and equitable resolutions tailored to your unique situation. Our legal solutions protect your financial interests and loved ones during emotionally charged proceedings.

What should I bring to my first consultation with a family lawyer?

For your initial consultation, you can bring any documents related to property law, financial and property matters, child custody, and any prior agreements. Our legal team will provide expert advice, answer questions, and offer guidance to protect your legal rights, financial interests, and the wellbeing of loved ones. Our Glenroy Family Lawyers offer a free first consultation – please get in touch to book a time.
