Guides

These guides explain how parenting arrangements, property settlements and divorce are dealt with, and what is useful to prepare before a first appointment.

What to bring to your first appointment

The documents and background information that will help your lawyer, questions worth preparing, and what to do if records are missing.

Parenting arrangements after separation

Making everyday arrangements for children and recording what you agree on. Includes resolving disagreements, moving with children and overseas travel.

Property settlement, step by step

How property and debts are assessed, what can affect the division, and the steps involved in reaching and formalising a settlement.

The divorce process and its time limits

What a divorce application involves, when it becomes final and how its timing affects unresolved property and spousal maintenance matters.

When you’re ready, we’re here.

You don’t need to have decided what you want to do before contacting us. Call, email or request a first appointment. We’ll first check whether we can act for you, then get back to you to arrange an appointment.
