Family Law Issues

Divorce & separation

Under Australian Law you can only apply for a divorce after you and your partner have been separated for at least one year.  We have a "no-fault" divorce system - which means the only ground needed is that the marriage has broken down and cannot be restored.  This system does not allocate "blame".  If there are children under 18 years involved, you can only receive a divorce if the Court is satisfied that proper arrangements for the children's welfare have been made.

There are very specific rules about separations, property and financial settlements and child arrangements which must be closely followed.

You do NOT have to wait a year before dealing with child and financial/property issues.

It is important for you to obtain legal advice as early as possible in a breakup.  


Call us now on 07 4772 5155 or email us.

Property settlements & financial Agreements

Family Law can be complex, and every case is unique.  It is essential for you to get legal advice from an experienced Family Lawyer BEFORE you begin negotiating financial issues with your spouse.  We can guide you and provide alternative solutions specifically for your situation.  And should the discussions be too stressful, or if it may be more fruitful for us to negotiate for you, we will help assure you achieve a fair property settlement.

Children - Custody & Parenting

The Family Law Act is very clear in it's stipulation that the most important consideration in deciding a child's living arrangements when parents separate - is the best interests of the child.   


The Family Court will make certain presumptions when making a Parenting Order - and this is definitely a process that you need to have legal advice to fully ensure that a good outcome is reached.  Do not wait.  Call us on 07 4772 5155

domestic violence & abuse

Do you need a lawyer in a Family Violence case?

It will depend on your particular circumstances, and whether you are the affected family member or the respondent.  As this may affect other legal issues (such as Family Law Court property or parenting disputes) - we do suggest you get specific legal advice as soon as practical.  

If you are the victim of family violence

If you are currently experiencing family violence, and are in fear - do not hesitate - Call 000 Police right now.  Police will attend quickly and apply for an Order on your behalf.  If you are not certain you have grounds for an Intervention Order - contact Townsville Family Lawyer Centre for advice.
