Most family matters never see a courtroom, and the ones that settle early cost a fraction of the ones that don't. We act for people in Broadmeadows and across Melbourne's north on separation, children and property — and we appear when we have to.
The two decisions that shape a separation are what happens with the children and how property is divided, and they run on different logic. Parenting is decided on what is best for the child; property on contributions and future needs. Both can be settled by agreement and formalised so they are binding, which is almost always faster and cheaper than litigating. Where there is family violence, safety comes first and the rest follows.
People in Broadmeadows often come to us when a relationship has broken down and they need to sort out practical matters—where children will live, how time with them is arranged, and how property and finances are split fairly. Sometimes someone arrives knowing exactly what they want; other times they're still working through what's realistic or what the other party might agree to. Before your first appointment, it helps to gather documents: birth certificates for any children, mortgage or rental paperwork, bank statements, superannuation details, and any written agreements you've already made. Write down the main issues as you see them and what outcome matters most to you. If there's been violence or safety concerns, let us know early so we can plan properly.
Tell us where things stand. We'll set out your realistic options on children and property, and what each would cost.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
