We specialise in offering affordable family law services across Melbourne including cases pertaining to financial agreements, marriage separation and divorce, property settlement and parenting arrangements.

You can rely on our 50 years’ experience as top lawyers in Melbourne whether you need advice after separating from your spouse or partner, are looking to implement parenting or financial arrangements or need representation in court.

Our team of family and divorce lawyers have the negotiating skills and experience to promptly resolve your matter affordably and with dignity. Our distinguished heritage and respect in the area of Family Law enables us to deliver accessible, professional and cost effective legal services to the Melbourne community.

Our Family Lawyers can assist with arrangements regarding children, including living arrangements, communication, relocation, change of name, passports and paternity. We act on behalf of heterosexual parents, same sex parents, grandparents and others.

No, not all matters have to go the Family court. Our team of recommended lawyers in Melbourne advocate round table conferences, mediation and all other forms of primary dispute resolution in appropriate circumstances. In 2017 our firm was recommended as a leading Australian family and divorce law firm in Doyles Guide, the country’s most comprehensive listing of the best lawyers, law firms and barristers.

We can advise you, participate in and represent you at settlement discussions, or we can recommend organisations that can help you and the other party attempt to mediate a resolution without family lawyers present. We recommend you first obtain legal advice from a recognised family lawyer in Melbourne to understand what your likely legal entitlements and obligations might be, before attending mediation arrangements.

Your matter can be resolved within days if you and your partner have reached an agreement. We can prepare the necessary legal documents to ensure your agreement is binding and enforceable. If you and your partner have not reached an agreement, a resolution can be achieved in a matter of weeks or months if mediation or a round table conference can be convened and is successful. 

If your matter requires a Court determination, we can advise you specifically as to likely timeframes depending upon whether your matter is to be heard in the Family Court or the Federal Circuit Court and the list of cases awaiting hearing at that time. The Court will always prioritise cases of an urgent nature and list these for hearing quickly. Our team of experienced lawyers will always work to ensure cases are resolved in the most timely and efficient manner enabling you to move on with your life.
