Look for Family Law supporting your local community
Clear answers to the questions we hear most often. If you don’t see your question here, we’re happy to answer it during your consultation.
We believe that financial pressure shouldn’t stop you from protecting your rights.
Which is why we offer Fixed Fee options for many services so you know exactly what it costs.
Plus, with our partnership with JustFund, you can also arrange to pay your legal fees only after your settlement is finalised.
We’ll discuss this openly in your first meeting.
The Answer: Not necessarily. Even high-conflict cases can often be resolved through Family Dispute Resolution (Mediation), which is usually required before you can even file for Court.
We act as your buffer during this process, negotiating on your behalf so you don’t have to argue directly. Court is always our last resort, not our first step.
If you only have a verbal agreement or a basic Parenting Plan, the police often cannot intervene. This is why we recommend formalising your arrangement into Consent Orders.
These are legally binding. If the other party breaches them, the Court can impose penalties, and in serious cases, issue Recovery Orders to have the children returned to you immediately.
You shouldn’t have to choose between your bank balance and your children. We offer Fixed Fee packages for drafting Consent Orders so you have certainty.
If your matter requires litigation, we are a partner of JustFund, which allows eligible clients to pay their legal fees at the end of the matter, ensuring you have top-tier representation when it matters most.
Yes. Families change, and your agreement should be able to adapt. A Parenting Plan offers flexibility and can be updated easily if you and your ex agree.
Court Orders are more rigid to provide stability, but they can still be varied if there has been a “significant change in circumstances.” We help you draft arrangements that look ahead to the future, not just next week.
