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 Kingsbury and across Melbourne's inner 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.
Family law issues in Kingsbury often arise when couples separate or when children's arrangements need to be worked out. Residents here typically come to us when a relationship has ended and there are questions about how property will be divided, what child support might look like, or where children will live and spend time. Before your first appointment, gather documents: bank statements, mortgage papers, details of superannuation, payslips, and any written agreements you've already made. Write down the key facts about your children—their ages, schooling, and current arrangements—and note any concerns you have about their safety or wellbeing. If there are assets like a home or investment property, jot down what you know about their value and when they were bought.
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.
