Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different ways to make parenting arrangements?
Parenting arrangements can be made through informal agreements, written plans or legally binding consent orders to suit your family’s needs.
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 without court involvement.
How is property typically divided following a separation?
Property division considers assets, debts, contributions and future needs to reach a fair outcome, for both marriages and de facto relationships that end. They can be finalised informally, through consent orders or binding financial agreements.
What happens if we cannot agree on parenting or property issues?
Mediation or Family Dispute Resolution is usually required to resolve legal matters if you and your ex-partner are unable to reach an agreement. If that doesn't help, court proceedings may be necessary.
What is Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) and when should it be used?
FDR is a mediation to resolve disputes before the court, often required for parenting orders unless exceptions apply.
What are consent orders, and what do they cover?
Consent orders are court-approved agreements that are legally binding, providing certainty and protection for financial settlement and parenting matters.
Are there time limits for settling property after separation?
Yes. Married couples have 12 months after divorce (not separation), and de facto couples have two years from separation to finalise property matters.
How much will it cost to resolve my family law matter?
Costs vary based on complexity, but our trusted family lawyers in Sorrento offer expert advice with transparent pricing to guide you through legal situations.
