Testimonials

Kind Words from Clients

Approaching lawyers for services, especially around divorce, can be  daunting. Clare was generous and willing to have an informal and open chat about our options. She explained things accessibly while also exercising duty of care in letting me know the implications for each option. I very much appreciated this and felt able to ask all the questions I needed, so I could proceed with confidence.

I highly recommend Clare and Eliza Legal. I'd been putting off finalising my divorce for so long because I was anticipating difficulties. Clare made it so simple and stress-free I'm not even sure what I was worried about.

Bree C

I recently had the pleasure of working with Eliza Legal and could not have been more satisfied with the service I received. The team was highly knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated to helping me navigate complex legal issues with ease. Clare and Corina truly set themselves apart with their dedication, professionalism, and empathy.

The itemised invoicing provided a transparent understanding of costs, demonstrating their integrity and sincerity in their client relationships. Their personalised approach undoubtedly made a stressful time more manageable, fostering trust and warmth in their interactions. I would highly recommend Eliza Legal to anyone in need of their expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What options are available for making parenting arrangements?

Parenting arrangements can be informal agreements, parenting plans or legally binding consent orders. Our family law firm’s experienced team can assist clients by providing expert advice, drafting legal documents and ensuring arrangements reflect your child’s best interests and long‑term solutions.

Do I need to go to court to finalise parenting or property matters?

Not always. Many legal matters are resolved through mediation or other forms of dispute resolution, which are often more cost-effective and hassle-free. If required, our Mordialloc lawyers can arrange representation for clients in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

How is property usually divided after a separation?

In de facto relationships and marriages, property disputes and financial settlements consider assets, debts, contributions and future needs. Our family law firm provides personalised advice and compassionate guidance through the family law process to achieve fair, effective resolution and long‑term solutions.

What can I do if my ex‑partner and I can’t agree on parenting or property issues?

Family Dispute Resolution is usually required before court. Our experienced team can assist clients by providing expert legal services, preparing legal documents and representing you during negotiations if required, ensuring the best interests of your family remain central.

What is Family Dispute Resolution (FDR), and when is it required?

FDR is a structured dispute resolution process designed to resolve parenting issues without litigation. Unless exceptions apply, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia generally require it before filing. We offer expert advice and personal attention at each step.

What are consent orders, and how do they work?

Consent orders are legally binding agreements approved by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. They finalise parenting arrangements, spousal maintenance, or financial settlements. Our boutique law firm can assist clients with drafting legal documents and achieving hassle-free results.

Are there deadlines for finalising property settlements after separation or divorce?

Yes. Married couples have 12 months from divorce, and de facto relationships have two years from separation. Our Mordialloc lawyers provide expert advice and assist clients with legal documents and negotiations to meet deadlines and secure cost-effective, long‑term solutions.

How much will it cost to resolve my family law matter?

Costs vary depending on complexity. We are a boutique law firm offering transparent pricing, expert legal services and cost‑effective solutions across Melbourne's Bayside area and eastern suburbs. Our personalised advice helps clients make informed decisions and achieve effective resolution.
