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 Tullamarine 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 Tullamarine often come to us when a relationship has broken down and they need to work out arrangements for children, property or ongoing support. Many have young families and want to move through this practically without unnecessary conflict. Others are managing a separation while balancing work and school commitments. Before your first conversation with us, it helps to gather documents: birth certificates for any children, marriage certificate, bank statements, mortgage details, and any existing agreements or court orders. Write down what matters most to you—whether that's custody patterns, keeping the home, or understanding what you might owe or receive. We can then look at your situation and talk through realistic next steps.
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.
