PARENTING ARRANGEMENTS
We offer guidance and advocacy to our clients on every facet of parenting arrangements concerning their children. This frequently entails engaging in negotiation or participating in family dispute resolution and mediation procedures. In formalising these arrangements, our services extend to drafting child support agreements, parenting plan’s to developing a binding consent order. Occasionally, this process requires mediation or court intervention when parents are unable to reach consensus on their parenting arrangements. In striving to resolve these matters, additional considerations such as counselling, schooling, healthcare, and financial support arrangements may also come into play.
FINANCIAL SETTELMENT
Financial Agreements can be established by parties at any juncture of their relationship with the aim of achieving a financial resolution. These agreements may be initiated prior to cohabitation, during cohabitation, or subsequent to separation, and they are applicable to both de facto and married couples. While Financial Agreements are commonly recognised as Prenuptial or Binding Financial Agreements, we also employ them to formalise financial arrangements post-separation, including the termination of spousal maintenance obligations. We adopt a collaborative and consultative approach to our legal advice, partnering with a diverse team of experts to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the matter.
SEPARATION AND DIVORCE
When dealing with separation and divorce, it's crucial to be mindful of specific time frames. In Australia, divorce proceedings cannot commence until a final separation period of more than twelve months has elapsed. For de facto couples or those in same-sex relationships who haven't married, a two-year period from the date of separation is applicable before seeking assistance from the Court.
It's essential to seek legal guidance regarding these time frames and understand the necessary steps for applying for a divorce.
