Advice on Separating

Separating from your partner is often one of the most difficult decisions that you will ever make.

If you are considering separating, our Family Lawyers can give you confidential advice in those early stages about your rights and entitlements if you ultimately choose to leave the relationship.

Sarah Cleeland Family Lawyers is committed to offering the highest standard advice and representation.

You can rest assured that if you attend with our one of our Family Lawyers, your sessions will remain strictly confidential and obligation free. Obtaining advice early means that you can sensibly plan to leave, and we can also refer you to services who can support you in the lead up to separation and assist you if you do make the decision to separate.

If you are a victim of Domestic Violence, our Family Lawyers can provide advice about services available which can support you in leaving a relationship physically, emotionally, and financially safe.
