I had an extremely messy divorce, a husband that was difficult at every turn and lots of companies and property. I had been elsewhere and had want of a better word been screwed over by the previous law firm. Then I found Leanne and Deb. I was a mess during the 4 years it took to finally get the matter settled. Leanne, Deb, Jen and team were supportive, professional and would often advise what to be concerned about and what would just be wasting time and money. I gained exactly what I originally offered the ex and paid about 150K less than the law firm my ex went with. I could see the other firm were milking him for fees, but where possible Deb saved me money. So in the end, I got what I wanted, the EX did not. Very professional team and highly recommended

Response from the owner:Andrea, thank you for your thoughtful review. We're pleased Leanne, Deb, Jen and the team could support you through such a complex and lengthy matter. We're delighted you achieved the result you were seeking. Thank you for your recommendation and for trusting Pearsons Family Lawyers.

Louis Horsley guided me throughout my divorce and financial separation over several months. He was always prompt, professional and very clear in his communication. All my questions were addressed and clearly explained throughout the process so that I could decide what was and wasnt worth pursuing. He was always accomodating scheduling our telephone meetings which was appreciated. It was an efficient process facilitated by his fast communication turnaround, despite the lack of agreement between parties. I'm relieved its completed!!

Response from the owner:Sandra, thank you for your thoughtful review. We're pleased Louis could guide you through your divorce and financial settlement with clear communication, professionalism and timely advice. We understand how important it is to feel informed and supported throughout the process, and we're grateful you chose Pearsons to assist you during this significant time.

I always felt informed and confident in the decisions being made. I highly recommend Sam to anyone needing reliable and compassionate legal representation.

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.

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?
