Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Accredited Family Law Specialist?
An Accredited Family Law Specialist is a lawyer who has completed advanced training and experience in family law and demonstrates a high level of expertise. They offer professional legal services to ensure a fair, equitable outcome in family-related matters, catering to the unique circumstances of each family member.
What's the difference between consent orders and family law financial agreements?
Consent orders are court-approved agreements between parties regarding divorce or separation issues, legally binding once filed. Family law financial agreements (prenuptials) are contracts made before, during, or after marriage to outline asset division. Both aim for a stress-free, equitable outcome but differ in legal processes and timing.
What areas do we need to address after divorce or de facto separation?
After divorce or separation, you need to address parenting arrangements, property division, financial settlements, spousal maintenance and child support. A family lawyer can help ensure these matters are resolved in a professional manner, achieving a fair outcome that respects each party’s wishes and future financial security.
How can a family lawyer help me achieve a fair outcome for my property settlement?
A family lawyer can assist by negotiating a fair property settlement, considering assets, liabilities, and each party’s financial future. They ensure that the agreement is equitable and based on your unique circumstances while reducing the stress and emotional strain of negotiations.
What's the best pay to organise child support with my former partner?
You can organise child support by reaching an agreement through negotiation or mediation and formalising it into a child support agreement. If this isn’t possible, a family lawyer can assist in understanding arrangements through the Child Support Agency or court to ensure the children’s financial needs are met.
Are binding financial agreements (or prenuptials) worth getting before we get married?
Binding financial agreements or prenuptial agreements can be valuable for outlining asset division in the event of separation. They protect each party’s financial future and provide clarity—as long as the legal requirements are strictly adhered to when making the agreement. A family lawyer can help ensure these agreements are legally sound, making all the difference if the marriage ends in divorce.
