FAQs
A family lawyer provides advice, support and legal representation for issues like separation, divorce, parenting arrangements, property settlements and financial agreements. They help you understand your rights, negotiate fair outcomes and handle court proceedings if needed. The goal is to protect your best interests and make tough transitions smoother.
Family Law covers various matters, including separation and divorce, parenting and child custody, child support, spousal maintenance, property and financial settlements, binding financial agreements and domestic violence orders. It’s all about managing the legal side of personal relationships so you can confidently move forward.
Property division involves working out a fair split of assets, debts and superannuation. The Family Law Act considers contributions made by each party, both financial and non-financial, plus future needs. Every situation is different, and a good family lawyer will help you negotiate a practical settlement that protects your future.
De facto couples have similar rights and obligations as married couples under Australian Family Law. The main difference is how the relationship is proven — usually by living together for two years or more. When a de facto relationship ends, the same rules apply for property, children and financial arrangements.
In Australia, you must be separated for at least 12 months to apply for a divorce, and it’s done by filing an application with the Federal Circuit and Family Court. If there are children under 18, you’ll also need to show proper arrangements are in place.
Timeframes vary depending on how complex the matter is and whether it goes to court. Some disputes resolve in a few months through mediation, while others can take over a year if court proceedings are involved. Working with a specialist family lawyer often speeds up the process and reduces stress.
