Key Areas of Family Law We Handle

‍

Divorce and Separation

‍

Divorce is one of the most common family law issues. Our Adelaide family law team can guide you through the process, ensuring all legal requirements are met and helping with property settlements, spousal maintenance, and parenting arrangements.

‍

Child Custody and Parenting Arrangements

‍

We understand how important your children are to you. Our family law lawyers in Adelaide focus on helping clients achieve fair and practical child custody arrangements that prioritise the well-being of the children. Whether through mediation or court proceedings, we’ll help you navigate the complexities of parenting plans and disputes.

‍

Property Settlements

‍

When a marriage or de facto relationship ends, dividing property and assets can become a contentious issue. Our team has extensive experience in negotiating and litigating property settlements to ensure your financial future is secure. We assess assets, debts, and other financial factors to achieve a fair outcome.

‍

Spousal Maintenance

‍

Spousal maintenance, or alimony, can be a crucial aspect of separation or divorce for those financially dependent on their spouse. Our lawyers can assist in determining whether spousal maintenance is applicable, and help negotiate a fair settlement to ensure you are financially supported.

‍

Domestic Violence and Intervention Orders

‍

If you or your family are facing domestic violence, it’s essential to act quickly. Our family law team can assist with applying for intervention orders to protect you and your loved ones. We offer confidential advice and support to help you move forward safely.

The Family Law Process in South Australia

‍

Step 1: Initial Consultation

‍

Your first step is to meet with one of our experienced family law lawyers to discuss your situation. We’ll provide advice on your legal rights and outline the best course of action based on your specific circumstances.

‍

Step 2: Mediation and Negotiation

‍

In many cases, family law matters can be resolved through mediation, avoiding the need for court. Our lawyers are skilled negotiators, striving to reach amicable solutions that suit all parties.

‍

Step 3: Court Proceedings (if necessary)

‍

If mediation isn’t successful, we’ll represent you in court to ensure your case is handled fairly and professionally. We advocate for your best interests in matters such as property settlements, child custody, and spousal maintenance.

‍

Step 4: Final Resolution

‍

Whether through mediation or court, we’ll work tirelessly to achieve a resolution that protects your rights and those of your family.

Why Family Law Timing Matters

‍

Family law matters often come with strict time limits. For example, property settlements after divorce must typically be initiated within 12 months of the divorce being finalised. In de facto relationships, this period is two years from separation. Seeking legal advice as early as possible ensures that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of a successful outcome.
