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 Roxburgh Park 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.
In Roxburgh Park, family law matters often emerge when couples separate, custody arrangements need to be formalised, or disputes arise about property division. Many people here are managing young families or navigating relationship changes while holding down work and community commitments. Starting out, it helps to gather documents—marriage certificates, bank statements, mortgage details, superannuation statements, and records of any parenting arrangements already in place. It's also worth writing down what you believe is fair for kids and assets, and what concerns you most. These notes give a clearer picture when you sit down with a lawyer to discuss what comes 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.
