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 Werribee 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 Werribee often arise when relationships break down and questions emerge about children, property division, or spousal support. People in the area typically come to us when they're navigating separation, wanting to formalise parenting arrangements, or working through disagreements about family finances. Before you start, it helps to gather documents—bank statements, property details, mortgage records, superannuation information, and any existing parenting agreements. If children are involved, think through what matters to you about their time and care. Write down key dates and milestones too. Having this material ready means we can give you a clearer picture of your options and 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.
