Our spousal maintenance lawyers can guide you through Queensland’s legal process, so you understand your rights and obligations. Here’s how we can support you:

• Assessing your eligibility or obligations — We analyse your financial situation, your former spouse’s capacity and relevant legal factors under the family law. This helps determine whether you may be entitled to receive, or required to pay, spousal maintenance. We provide realistic advice so you can make informed decisions from the outset.
• Preparing and lodging applications — If you seek spousal maintenance, we prepare detailed applications supported by the necessary evidence. This includes compiling supporting documents and relevant background information to strengthen your case and present it in a clear, legally compliant manner to the Court or during negotiations.
• Negotiating fair agreements — Where possible, our spousal maintenance lawyers aim to resolve matters efficiently through negotiation and mediation to avoid the costs and stress of a court hearing. We work to achieve an outcome that reflects your needs and financial reality, while complying with Queensland’s legal standards.
• Representing you in court — If an agreement cannot be reached, we provide strong representation in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. We advocate for your position, present evidence effectively and guide you through each step of the process to reduce uncertainty and help you feel supported.
