Frequently Asked Questions

Hidden FIeld

How do I end a de facto relationship?

To end a de facto relationship, you will need to separate from your partner and ensure you have let them know, either verbally or in writing. From there, you can address property issues and financial matters through mediation or court proceedings if necessary.

How are parenting arrangements organised?

Parenting arrangements are organised through mediation or court proceedings if an agreement cannot be reached amicably.

Expert family lawyers can assist in drafting consent orders or agreements that address children’s matters, such as custody and visitation schedules.

Our Point Cook family Lawyers will work with you to develop a plan that prioritises the wellbeing of your children and can also liaise with other professionals, such as financial advisors, if needed, to ensure a stable financial future after divorce or separation.

If disputes arise, our team helps navigate the legal process to achieve fair outcomes for all parties involved.

What do I need to do to finalise property matters?

To finalise property matters, such as property settlements or spousal maintenance, you must reach an agreement with your partner or seek a court order if necessary. This involves valuing assets, negotiating terms, and preparing legal documents.

Our Point Cook family lawyers can assist with divorce proceedings and ensure that all property issues are resolved according to the specific circumstances of your case.

Our team helps draft consent orders and supports you throughout the process to secure a fair and equitable property settlement on your behalf.

Is court necessary for family law matters?

Court is not always necessary for family law matters. Many issues, such as property settlements and parenting arrangements, can be resolved through mediation or negotiation. Cook Family Lawyers can assist in drafting agreements and consent orders to avoid court proceedings.

However, if disputes cannot be resolved, court may be required. Our expert family lawyers guide you through the process, representing your interests and seeking the best outcome while minimising the impact of court proceedings on you and your family.
