Divorce and sep­a­ra­tion are among life’s most stress­ful events. Sup­port from an expe­ri­enced and accred­it­ed fam­i­ly lawyer can make a world of dif­fer­ence. Hav­ing a High-pow­ered law firm in Syd­ney” as quot­ed in the media, in your cor­ner can deliv­er you the out­come you desire.

No one can tru­ly pre­pare you for divorce, but before you decide to take the next step, talk to experts and edu­cate your­self. That way, you will be as pre­pared as pos­si­ble, for bet­ter or for worse.

We have both male and female accred­it­ed spe­cial­ist fam­i­ly lawyers avail­able to help you. Whether you need advice on divorce, prop­er­ty set­tle­ment, par­ent­ing arrange­ments, de fac­to rights and sep­a­ra­tion enti­tle­ments, or finan­cial cas­es such as main­te­nance and child sup­port, you can depend on us.

Our advice is reli­able, objec­tive and prac­ti­cal. We have years of expe­ri­ence deal­ing with sen­si­tive and com­pli­cat­ed fam­i­ly law cas­es. When­ev­er pos­si­ble, we will try to keep you out of the courts so you can avoid the expense, delay and uncer­tain­ty of litigation.
