I cannot thank Sam Dzeladin-Elez from Pearson's for his professional and authentic representation in my recent legal matters. He has a very grounded and genuine approach to assisting clients and this was evident in the work he supported me with which included hearings in the Magistrates court. He prepared me for what to expect on each occasion and provided appropriate and specific legal advice each step of the way in a friendly, down to Earth and supportive manner, resulting in an excellent outcome for my matter. Sam goes out of his way to achieve sought after outcomes for his clients. I highly recommend Sam to support you through the legal process.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're so pleased Sam could provide the clear, authentic support you needed through your Magistrates Court matters and help you achieve such a positive outcome. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

Over the past few years, I have worked closely with Dominique Harris on my family law property settlement. Her professionalism, guidance, and unwavering support carried me through every stage of the process right to the end. Thanks to her representation, I achieved an excellent outcome, and I am deeply grateful for her expertise and care. She guided me both emotionally and professionally through very testing waters at times, even those occasions when I thought I was going to give up! Highly recommend Pearsons and Dominique Harris to represent anyone going through a property settlement. Their clients’ best interest are a priority.
Response from the owner:Mary, thank you for your heartfelt review. We are so glad Dominique could stand by you through each stage of your property settlement and help you reach such a positive outcome. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

Last year my wife and I engaged Pearsons Family Lawyers to assist with a dispute involving a contractor who carried out very poor workmanship on our home. The matter involved extensive email exchanges and ongoing pressure from the contractor.

Leanne Abela from Pearsons provided clear, practical advice at every step, particularly on how to respond and how to properly counter the contractor’s claims. Her guidance and diligence gave us confidence to pursue the matter and ultimately resulted in us not paying for work that was sub standard.

We found her and her team knowledgeable, responsive, and very easy to deal with.

We highly recommended Pearsons Family Lawyers.
Response from the owner:Marc, thank you for your detailed review. We're pleased Leanne and the team could provide the clear guidance and responsiveness you needed to resolve the contractor dispute successfully. We appreciate your recommendation.

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.
