What We Do
Our legal practice focus is on helping people with broken relationships. We help you sort through the tangle that is shared responsibly and time with children and complexities of property. We are experienced in complex matrimonial property matters and often involving companies and family trusts. From initial contact and negotiations with the other party to assisting clients navigate their way through the complexities of the Family Law Court.
Should you be concerned about a family member who is behaving, and is likely to continue to behave, in a way that is violent, abusive or threatening, we can help you with Family Violence Intervention Order (FVIO or intervention order) to protect you and your children.
We have been successful in obtaining Orders relating to relocation of mother and children to regional centres, interstate relocation cases and in running successful applications under the Hague Convention involving children and removal of children overseas.
Our lawyers are experienced in assisting clients in respect of Breach of Intervention Orders and representing them in the various Magistrates’ Courts throughout the State of Victoria.
Ancillary to the Family Law practice, we also advise and assist clients in preparation of wills and powers of attorney, applications for Grant of Probate and Estate Administration.
