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 Kings Park and across Melbourne's west 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.
Family law matters in Kings Park often involve separated parents working out what happens with children and property. You might be managing a relationship breakdown, negotiating arrangements for school holidays or weekday contact, or sorting through what each person keeps from joint assets. Before talking to a lawyer, it helps to gather documents: bank statements, mortgage papers, superannuation statements, any previous agreements in writing, and a summary of how you and your children's routines work now. If children are involved, write down what you'd like to happen and what you think the other parent might agree to. Bringing these details means a lawyer can give you a clearer picture of what's realistic and what steps come next.
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.
