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 Flemington and across Melbourne CBD & inner 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.
In Flemington, family law matters often arise when relationships end or parenting arrangements need to be sorted. Someone might come to us after a separation or divorce, needing to understand what happens with property, superannuation, or caring for children. Others arrive with questions about formalising a parenting plan or managing a disagreement over contact. Many have tried talking things through informally first. Before your first appointment, gather documents that matter: birth certificates for any children, marriage certificate, recent pay slips, bank statements, mortgage or rental details, and any existing agreements or court orders. A clear picture of your living situation and what you're worried about helps us understand your position.
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.
