Court Representation
Sometimes following separation, parties are unable to reach an agreement.
Sometimes following separation, parties are unable to reach an agreement to divide their assets and liabilities and may wish to commence Court proceedings so that a Judge can assist in making that decision. The Family Law Act sets out strict requirements for the commencement of such proceedings, including strict time limitations for when you can commence proceedings for the division of your assets.
If you are contemplating commencing proceedings or you have been served with Court proceedings, please contact one of our Family Lawyers, who are highly experienced in representing clients in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
We can assist you in ensuring that you are fully informed as to whether it’s the right time to commence proceedings and can support you in preparing documents that accurately and properly set out your case and what Orders you seek.
Our team are also very experienced and highly proficient negotiators who can assist you in exploring alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as Mediation and attendance at a Conciliation Conference to help resolve your case early and save you the stress and legal costs of having to go through the Court process.
