Frequently asked questions

Advice from our family law team.

Do I need court proceedings?
Not always. Many family law matters can be resolved through negotiation, Family Dispute Resolution, mediation, consent orders or financial agreements. Court may be necessary where urgent orders are required, there are safety concerns, disclosure issues, asset protection concerns, relocation issues, or where agreement cannot be reached. We will advise you on the most appropriate pathway for your circumstances.
Can we formalise an agreement we have already reached?
Yes. If you have reached an agreement, we can help you document it properly so that it is practical and legally appropriate. Depending on the issues involved, this may be done through consent orders, a parenting plan, a child support agreement or a binding financial agreement.
How do I reduce legal costs?
You can reduce costs by being organised, providing documents electronically, consolidating questions, responding promptly, following advice and focusing on the issues that matter most. Using negotiation, mediation or other dispute resolution options where appropriate can also help. We will work with you to identify the most efficient approach while ensuring your legal position is protected.
