Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different ways to make parenting arrangements?
Parenting arrangements can be informal, documented in writing, or formalised through legally binding consent orders. We tailor solutions to fit your family’s unique needs and legal requirements.
Is it necessary to go to court to finalise parenting or property matters?
Often no. Many family law matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation, avoiding court, which is generally much less stressful for everyone involved.
How is property typically divided following a separation?
Property division considers assets, debts, contributions and future needs. It applies to both marriages and de facto relationships, finalised via informal agreements, consent orders, or binding financial agreements.
What happens if we cannot agree on parenting or property issues?
If you and your ex-partner can’t agree, Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) or mediation is usually required to attempt to resolve legal matters before court proceedings can begin. Our legal team can support you if you need to attend mediation.
What is Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) and when should it be used?
FDR is a mediation process designed to resolve disputes before court involvement. It’s generally required for parenting matters unless exceptions apply under the law.
What is Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) and when should it be used?
Consent orders are court-approved, legally binding agreements that provide certainty and protection for parenting arrangements and financial settlements.
Are there time limits for settling property after separation?
Yes. Married couples have 12 months from divorce, and de facto couples have two years from separation to finalise property matters. Early advice helps you meet these deadlines.
How much will it cost to resolve my family law matter?
Costs depend on the complexity of your case. Our trusted family law team in Cranbourne offers transparent pricing and expert advice from your initial consultation through the whole process.
