Frequently Asked Questions
I'm experiencing domestic violence, can a family lawyer help me?
Yes, a family lawyer can help you protect your safety and legal rights. They can assist you in obtaining an intervention order, guide you through legal proceedings, and ensure that your circumstances are handled professionally, aiming for a stress-free, safe outcome. If you are experiencing immediate danger, please contact 000 or 1800 RESPECT before you seek legal advice.
How can a family lawyer help me protect my financial future after divorce or separation?
A family lawyer can provide sound advice on property matters, ensuring that your financial interests are safeguarded. They can help you with some aspects of property law and provide guidance on securing your estate, working towards a fair and equitable outcome for all parties involved.
How can I keep our family law matter out of family court?
A family lawyer can help you explore dispute resolution methods like mediation, which can keep your matter out of court. They will work to ensure that any potential disputes are resolved in a cost-effective, amicable way, helping you reach an agreement that suits your needs and those of your family.
What do I need to do to end a de facto relationship?
To legally end a de facto relationship, you must demonstrate that it has broken down. A family lawyer can guide you through the process, address property law issues, and help settle any disputes over assets or financial matters. They will ensure that the whole process is handled in a professional manner.
What's the difference between binding financial agreements and consent orders?
Binding financial agreements (BFAs) are legal contracts that set out the division of assets and property, offering flexibility and confidentiality. Consent orders, however, are court-approved agreements made after mediation, providing a legally binding resolution. Both help manage financial matters, but BFAs offer more privacy, while consent orders formalise agreements through the court.
What are the recent changes to the Family Law Act about?
Recent changes to the Family Law Act aim to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of children, reduce delays in the family court system, and improve financial fairness. Our experienced team can provide you with sound advice on how these changes affect your case, ensuring you have the right information to make informed decisions.
My ex-partner and I need to split our family business in our settlement, can you help?
Yes, we can assist with complex family law property matters. Many family lawyers collaborate with business law specialists and property lawyers, which can also help you divide your family business equitably in a settlement. Our team can assist in valuing the business, addressing potential disputes, and ensuring that both parties are treated fairly during the property settlement process.
Is there a way to privately arrange child support and spousal support?
Yes, family lawyers can help you privately arrange child support and spousal maintenance agreements outside of the Federal Circuit & Family Court of Australia. By seeking legal advice, you can create a legally binding agreement tailored to your unique circumstances, avoiding potential disputes and ensuring your agreements are fair and in line with the law.
