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

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!!

She provides clear, practical advice and quickly understands the key issues and priorities. Her guidance is well-balanced, combining strong legal insight with a calm and considered approach, which gives clients confidence throughout the process.

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.

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. He was helpful with drafting paperwork, providing court representation, and following up with the registry office. we have never experienced a single issue throughout the entire process. 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.

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.
